I've broken the silly plasticy shift links on 3rd-4th one evening when coming back from running in an engine over Bell's Line of Road. Went for the big down shift to third and punched the ash tray in my 308 VB Commodore. Was only 5 km from home so hoped under the car with shifter and disengaged 3rd and drove the remaining distance home in 2nd. The poor car had been coping a pounding all night so I was lucky it broke so close to home. Next week me mate machined up some solid steel blocks to replace the plastic items problem solved!
