Quick shifters of the upmost poo quality are available on ebay. I paid £30 for what looked like a B&M but obviously isnt. Ive done around 1000 miles with it in and tonight whilst out on a drive and at a moment when pressing on and changing quite spiritedly the bloody thing fell apart and left me without drive at the lights! 30-45sec of furious fumbling ensued (which is a long time on the road) and I managed to get it back in its hole and hold it down in place so I could change gear. At a glance it just looked like the circlip had popped out, but when I pulled over up the road for a good look the metal ring that holds the rod in place and goes under the circlip had shattered in to bits! I now have to pull my shed out in the hope the old shifter is in there and servicable tomorrow, grrr.

You have been warned!

Just had a quick look on there, and the 2fast2cool ones do look strangley similar.

i got a short shifter from 800bhp on ebay in oct 06 and 8000 miles later its still working fine (TOUCH WOOD ).it looks like the 2 fast 2 cool one aswell and also cdf racing do one that looks the same,in this blue colour, so i suppose it depends which company you get it from or you was unlucky and got a duff one.
have you contacted who you bought it off what have they said.

ive seen some of the stuff from 2fast2cool, but from what ive heard, its generally good quality stuff, although ive never bought from them myself.

suppose its down to pablo to name and shame...

Sounds like a poor installation to me.
SPLIT RINGS must be used.
They are a swine to ensure they are fitted correctly.
You need to use the correct tool.
