Q:
I pulled the center console to paint it. Low and behold my shifter is bent to the right. I have a photo but I've never posted a pic to ET. I sent the photo to my dealer in Boston. Looks like I'll be changing to the udated version.
A:
They're all bent to the right on LH drive cars including the new version.
A:
Your shifter shold look similar to the bottom photo
A:
OK so what is the one on top?
A:
Until it snaps, anyway. And it WILL snap.
A:
Why would that be. It doesn't look the aftermarket one is.

The B&M shifter.

Here's Ivan "Quality is my Middle Name" Lobotominsky in front of the Lotus R&D facility at Hethel. Ivan is head of Shifter Development. This shot was taken after a difficult day where he personally bent 1,200 shifters to the perfect angle.

Due to factory cutbacks, he also serves as a custodian's mop.

For leg clearance especially when shifting into reverse.

I also enjoy the B&M. Much smoother feel and easier 2nd to 3rd to 2nd shifting. I sure the sumo balls helps as well.
