So 20 minutes ago I was going to go for a drive and while I was shifting, my shifter felt a little awkward. So I decided to drive back home and what do you know, the shaft came loose and I had to shift it from the base. So when I got home, this is what it looked like:

And tomorrow morning, I'm going to take it the the dealership before work. Wack....

Whoa... You're strong. Easy on the "spirited" driving. =)

And we were laughing at the evo guys because their pedals were snapping.

The thing is, I wasn't driving hard, just normal. The past few days, my shifter has felt weird. Going into reverse has been semi-difficult.

Haha I'm not that strong. Yeah, I'm still under warranty being only at 13,700 miles. This s*** better be covered. I wasn't even driving hard either!

You just happened to have that one piece of metal where it's weakest location snapped. Do tell the dealer comments after.

Wow. That's crazy s****! Is this a first? I'd love to see a dealer try to prove that happened from abuse.

Wow, you got a fracture in there at some point and it just finally gave way. NIce job! Is that the TWM or stock? If stock, time for the TWM sounds like to me!

Wow, I don't know what to say. And here I was nervous I was messing up the shifter when I was rotating the shift knob back on to the stock shifter, thinking I could break something loose, you broke the shifter clean off!
