so as i was going home my shifter snapped when i shifted in to second??!?! i must be too strong or it could be the cheap metal ebay uses but it snapped and now its stuck in neutral. is there anyway i can throw it in gear so i can drive it less then 100 yards to the closest mechanic. and pushing is not an option becuase i have to go all up hill. can i go under the car and shift it in gear or something. any gear will do..

 

Go under the car, find where the shift rods enter the trans. Shift it into first, done.

eBay STS? It's happened before. You get what you pay for.

 

Ugh

Get under the car

Unscrew the cat

Remove the cat heat shield

Have a buddy depress the clutch (optional)

Grab the bottom of the shift lever (attached to the shift linkage), push it towards the driver's side of the car and pull it towards the back of the car

Some cheapo ebay shifters have had this problem before, the shifter snaps because it's cheaply made.

Edit: Guess you could do it at the tranny too

 

Ebay knockoff's FTL!

 

how long have you had your sifter ???? are you hard on it, does it take effort to get your car into gear?????? I'm sortta curious (other than it being chep ebay junk) why it broke, I have a cheapy STS and it seams fine. well ... so far. lol

 

i almost bought one of those glad that i didnt. I just took the angle grinder to the shifter and took off a couple of inches

 

I dont know why I did this but I took the screws out of my shifter and the **** fell out. I put everything back together but now I cant get my key out the ignition. What should I do?

 

how has it worked for u? am i right to assume u have o use an aftermaket **** with the lil set screws cuz u dont have thread

 

i recently cut my stocker to 7 inches.... from the top of the ball .... i cut some 3 or 4 inches out of it and welded the tip back on.. i feels great

 

dont get OBX from ebay. i had to "modify" just about everything to get it to my liking...

 

Sawzall and aftermarket **** with allen screws lol
Cut it down all those shift ***** come with the plastic inserts w/ diff sizes and they just clamp on w/ the allen screws. Free and still shortening the throw thats the point right?? Why do you need to shift that rough anyway??
I can hit 2nd and 3rd quick enough to chirp the tires with stock shifter and no crunching or snapping shifters lol.

 

my shift **** just presses on

 

Be careful man.You might just be next.

 

^^^ I sure as he!! hope not mate! lol I've been dealing with a lot of things already and that is the last thing I need. I wonder if I still have my OEM laying around?

 

how many times has it flew off when you shifted? lol
