THIS HAS BEEN COVERED.

B&M has it covered under warranty.

They will send you a new reinforced one.

Damn shadohh, I'm not bitching!!
Just letting people know what happened over the xmas holidays.
Anyway, I'm in the UK and mine came from the US(summit racing)before they had a dealer here, so my warranty is sort of awkward.
Anyway I now have a new part made in stainless steel, so I don't think that is breaking.

B&M has as great cust. service. I had that happened to my shifter awhile back after I got it. If you call them, they will send you a new bottom piece. It's made of solid metal piece. I haven't had a problem since. You don't have to go through the place you bought the shifter from. Just call B&M directly and they will take care of you nicely.

xxxmonoxidechild it was only the bottom bit that broke, so it was only that I got remade, the rest of the shifter is fine.
