When I was in Maxton, The shifter knob on my B&M handle snapped off as I was parking for the tech line... Has anybody else had that problem? Shold I call B&M? I've had it for over a year.

I've heard of x metal handles breaking, but not B&M's. I'd see if B&M would warranty it if I were you. What you got to lose?

Whats different about how the two shifters feel? Does the x metal have a longer handle. They both are the same B&M base.faslane505 said:

There was someone else who broke the stock B&M handle and I think B&M makes a steel replacement. Here is the thread talking about it.

B&M will replace the entire shifter thru the dealer you bought it from IF you have your original invoice.
Try a straight 8" Hurst lever on the B&M shifter, it is not too far away from you and looks cool as hell. (drill the two bolt holes one size larger)

I was just gonna bring this up................nice post SilvrSRT10.
I would call B&M and let them know you just set the world record and their shifter broke at the starting line..............maybe they will send you a new one even if you dont have the fricken receipt from a year ago. Its worth a try!!

Mine broke on the red truck when I put a Hurst pistol/finger grip handle on it.
B&M replaced it with a steel one, took about 3-4 weeks to get it back from them. I had to send them the broken one and the paperwork.
I took the stock factory Hurst handle and cut it down in the chop saw (probably 3")and drilled the 2 mounting holes in it and it works just dandy fine. Never did put the B&M handle back on after I recieved it.
I am going to cut another 2" off it the next time I have the boot off for something. I would like it a little shorter. That is with the tall Hurst handle/knob.
