Default spoon titanium shift ***** break easily

i bought my shift **** once it came out.. and within days it cracked and broke
luckily i bought it at a spoon dealer they were nice enough to exchange me a new one for free but i had to wait for a month or so for it to be shipped from japan.. anyways they said i overtighten it and blah blah blah.. well i dont know if i overtighten it.. it was never 'tighten'.. it is loose no matter how much force you put to screw it down

anyways.. i am using my 2nd shift **** now.. from experience of course i am not going to "overtighten" it this time.. well after a couple of weeks of driving.. guess what.. IT IS STARTING TO CRACK AGAIN!!

anyone has this happened to them?

Actually there were pictures (numerous) of broken spoon Ti shift *****. Those things suck *** and they're damn ugly to begin with..

This is spoon's way of saying "we pwn you"

rumor has it that some Spoon dealers were selling fake Spoon products that were sold in copied Spoon boxes and bags. the copied stuff looked very legit.

spoon didnt distribute the fake stuff. they actually got the official distributor to track down the dealers that were.

sooo what is the point of a Ti shift **** again?

A heavier shift **** will give you more leverage for smoother, faster shifts, so why would you want an insanely light shift **** that could potentially break?
