good thing you didnt bust yourself in the face. my friend was doing the same thing, and not only did it break, but his knob came off too. he shifted hard, hit himself in the face with his own fist and the knob, and the rest of the stick flew into the back of the car

Re: Broken Short Shifter during Race !!!!!!
i recommend not shifting like he-man. all it does is fuck up your tranny. there's no sense in shifting faster than the revs will fall on the engine, or else you're putting even more load on your clutch.
