I have been having an issue with my linkage popping out under the shifter with the ball-socket connection, and I know other have been having the same issue and I figured you guys might be able to help us out.

 

mine did this twice last night... is there something that can be done?

 

I had the same issue in my 2007 LS I ended up replacing that ball socket connector because it wasnt as resilliant and it should be. It's not TWM's Fault that little plastic socket just sucks is all.

 

Its only like 15 bucks from the dealer if I remember right.

 

I have a stock shifter and 6800miles on the car... lol

 

Hey guys,

It's a project we're working on. Basically replacing the stock plastic part with an aluminum part and a much more solid attachment point. No ETA at the moment, but keep an eye on our section for any further details!

Thanks,

Any update on this?

 

take shifter out, remove ball with vice grip, the threads are something like M6-1.25 pitch or something small, you will need two fender washers, a 1.25 inch long bolt, RED loctite, a drill, your original plastic socket end to the shifter, about thirty minutes of your time and the slightest tweak to get it to feel right.

 

Updates?

 

Hey Ry I'll just trade you my Hurst for your TWM... lol

 

Hey guys,

We have some great updates! The clamp is tried, tested and works AMAZINGLY! There are only a few more tests to do and you guys should have an update by the end of this week...We're almost there guys, so just be patient for another few days!

To hold you all over, here's a teaser of our prototype piece:

how hard is install on this piece. Would be smart to have one around when stock piece fails.

 

so does it keep it from flying off the base of the shift handle
