The threaded part snapped right underneth the shift knob a few weeks before i sold the car tho. :1

Have had one in my CRX for over a year now no problems, however after having driven a car with a B & M I would definitely buy the better one if I had to do it again. Just feels smoother and they usually come with new bushings too.

I'm driven a Skunk2, B&M, DCSports, My Spectra (I Rembeered it) and my buddy's egay special. Hard any difference. All have a nice feel. All Shift Well, Have yet to see on break.
