Redesigned OBX Short Shifter Question

[West]

I got a email from Enjuku Racing like a month ago and it said they had a deal on what they said was the Redesigned OBX Short Shifter. Anyone know what was changed from the previous design?

at the very least, expect a different epoxy to rememdy the shifter seperation problem

Or mabey a TUBE of epoxy, and you gotta remedy it yourself. &nbsp;But at least they redesigned the box to accomodate the tube for ya.

Rampid just bought a OBX shifter on Ebay, and I dunno if it is the new style or the old. &nbsp;But it looks the same as any picture I have ever seen. &nbsp;With the exception of... I don't see a place for it to break. &nbsp;It looks pretty one piece constructed.

Hey I have one. I got it from Don. It's got metal on the shaft where I guess you guys were saying that it separates. There is a picture on PDM's website. It seem real solid to me.One solid piece of metal. I've had it a week, no problems. I'll keep you guys updated if I had problems. $80 special on Don's website.

What is the seperation problem you guys are talking about? &nbsp;I just ordered the OBX, so just want a heads up of any problems.

the shifter is a two peice design (same as stock, really) that uses a fairly weak bonding compound to hold it's two halves together where they are seperated by a rubber bushing. &nbsp;it's an easy thing to fix though... just use a few drops of good two part epoxy and it won't seperate any time soon.

The original is just about as shiny and boy does it suck to drive on a sunny day w/out a shift boot <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/lookaround.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':look:'>
