Default Broke my shift ****...

Yeah, I'm an idiot!!!! Some how I broke my freakin' shift ****...I think I may have screwed it on too tight when I put my short throw shifter in!!! It is usable just annoying...the plastic in the middle in now loose and any time you grab it tight is move around...it is kinda fun to just push it around when sitting at stop lights.......So yeah now I have an excuse to get a new one...I don't want any ones in the shape of a ball....and I like the Roush billet ones...but HELLO...I'm in AZ...120+ in the freakin' shade in the summer, fry an egg on asphalt, pop windshields out of cars heat....not going to happen....Maybe I can find a leather combo....new boot and ****....I know redline has a boot, but I'm not sure I'm a fan of the stiching....any thoughts....

Ponyman, let me know if you find a decent leather or composite shift ***. I'm up in Cottonwood and this all metal shift **** is gettin almost too hot to the touch already.

Okay, let me see if I have this straight...
You say you broke your **** fromscrewing too tight while trying to put your short shifter in. And now you say it is fun to grab your knoband play with it while waiting at stop lights. So were these freudian slips intentional and meant to be funny or could this actually be a sign of a repressed libidinous appetite?

j/k
