I don't understand. Why is the shifter even made of two peices? It would make sense to make it from one peice. And even so... GLUE? I mean come on you paid over 300 for a shifter that is glued together? Not dissing, but the guy making these had to have considered that with the amount of movement and use the shifter of a car uses, he should of known it was bound to come apart sometime. I just don't get it. Correct me if I am wrong but isnt the facory shifter constructed from one peice? blah.

There is a reason it is two pieces...its to reduce the vibration...since it goes directly into the transmission ....if they dont use te rubber isolator ..every single little vibration in the transmission will transfer through the shifter......then there will be a lot of complaints!
The rubber helps absorb all the vibrations from the transmission. RE is working on an update to solve the issue of the seperation....this update will completely solve the situation. Anyone that has any questions about this feel free to contact me at

I think I was the first one to contact Ben about this problem 2 days after the shifter was released. He said to use some superglue to fix it. So far so good, he said if it ever comes apart again, they will replace it for no charge.

I'm off my soapbox now...
DeeZee, where in VA are you? If you're in NoVA and would like some help installing the shifter this weekend, let me know. Did you get the shifter cup with your shifter? Hopefully you did as it will make your life MUCH easier.
