So I was just pulling up to a stop light when I go to down shift in to second and I hear a snap and the shifter goes limp. I knew right away that is was the linkage. So I messed around with it and got it to go into second. I ended up having to drive all the way accross Houston in my car in 2nd gear at about 40-45 mph. Normally about a 10 min trip turned into about an hour and a half. I t sucks well I am putting my stock shifter back in and taking it in on warranty.

 

that sucks... good luck

 

hey, 2nd shouyld get ya to 70mph, and you can get moving from a stop, coulndt have been stuck in a better gear!

 

i dont think you wanna drive at redline for extended periods of time. lol. plus i can only get to about 62 in 2nd gear.

 

GL with the warrenty work....

 

yup. same happened to me. cost me 600 bucks. they wouldn't warrenty it. i had 1 3 5.

 

Why wouldn't they warranty it?

 

that sucks

 

That does suck. I hope they don't call it abuse because of racing. Just remember they would have to prove you had raced it.

 

i think mine is gonna be doing this soon, after i shift i get to were it feels like the clutch dont hold pressure fast enough, feels to me as if my clutch engages and then bounces off and back on, i dont know what is up with it

 

I had my linkage pop off of the shifter base which left me with 1st,3rd and 5th. That goodness mine didnt snap.

 

they said it would never break without extreme wear. so they pretty much said i beat it to death.

 

yeah I have the same problem right now too.. for some reason I never heard of this prior to buying my B&M shifter.

 

All I know is my car got taken in to the Dealer and they are refusing to pay for it, because I have an aftermarket clutch. I told them that I only had an aftermarket clutch becuase they would not replace the one that burnt out on me at 10,000.

 

Listening since my linkage or shifter assembly is messed up. 3rd gear and 5th gear are sometimes bitches to get into. I have the B&M as well. $600 for linkages is just insane!

 

yeah that seems pretty expensive. I guess parts and labor but if the dealership refuses to do anythign for me i'm not gonna pay them to do it. I'll do it myself **** the dealer why have warranty if they aren't goign ot fix anything
