Broke the damn thing right off. Kinda surprising cause I didn't think I was abusing it but do tend to hang on the shifter a bit around corners. Whatever.

Budget is VERY tight right now so I'm looking for a temp replacement of sorts... even trying to avoid the $80 Momo ***** and whatnot. I'd prefer something of the perforated variety but that might be too much to ask.

Already STFA here and AZ... any thoughts?

Found this guy on eBay. Might pull the trigger.

Yeah, the thought crossed my mind but it might not hold due to the pressure applied to the region.

Default I'd loan you my **** until you can find a suitable replacement, but mine is a 6MT

Check on AZ or Fortitude...they pop up from time to time. Or be real ballar and just shift as is, sans ****.

Default Does that mean I get the extra gear too? Cause that would be cool...

That's very kind of you Matt, but I'll just pick something up. Thank you for the offer.

And I guess this means I'm already at baller status... knobless shifting has already been going strong for a two days now. Although I did mash the &amp;$#% out of my pinky this morning. Hilarious. So, kinda strong.

Default hard to tell from the pictures what exactly broke...

was it part of the shifter itself, or the **** where the boot clips to it? If the latter, some plastic weld epoxy might due the trick

It's the **** where the boot clips to it. I'm now thinking a heavy **** FTW. Budget be damned.
