You're the strongest person in the world. Seriously, I've never seen or heard of anyone breaking this part. I was shocked when I got under the car and pulled that out.

yep mine was in second gear too but I was 1 hour 30 minutes away.
so I just towed it home.


if it happens again then I'll make a fun 3hour 2nd gear drive down the highway :)

Commonly broken part..

[The Fast One!]

thought it was hard to break
ordered new one from BMA and they thought I had the wrong part number because of it being so "hard" to break.
oh well

I wonder how the synchros look?

impressive break!

Ive powershifted before and had my shift knob pop off. Kinda freaked me out the first time because I am used to just shifting and not thinking about it but I had only a split second to add the extra step of putting my knob back on. Never broken a shift linkage though...

impressive break!

haven't checked the synchros yet. but ordered all new parts from BMA going to go ahead and do the Z4 3.0 lever.
