Default B&M 45075 WTF????

I just got my B&M shirt throw, and I was looking it over and found what I think may be a problem. There is NO hole on the bottom. WTF??? Am I crazy? Or did I get a defect?

Nope, it is solid with no hole what-so-ever. BTW, can I use your pick to send the eBay seller an example? I was looking up you FAQ How-to and that's when I noticed there's a little problem with mine.

Yeah, the picture on summit, and just about every other website show it as solid, but I don't understand why, no hole for sleeve=no installation. ****!!! I was about to install my ES bushings along with the shifter, and now I have to wait.

Oh yeah, sure, rub it in why don't you... J/K. I just spoke with B&M, and they said I can send it back to them for exchange if the eBay seller refuses to change it for me. I'm gonna try to see if a local dealer can swap it though. I need to take a pic of this before I change it, it is too weird.

I concur.

Definitely weird. Should've gotten it from GSC Motorsports, here on H-T. Where I got mine, $50 shipped.

Got mine from Autocom Peformance Parts (eBay seller), it was $46.00 shipped. The guy has some great feedback and I found quite a few buyers that bought the same part and were happy, so I figured why not. Oh well, will have to wait for a replacement now. Hey, can I still use your pic though?

The picture on summit shows the shifter turned so you can't see the hole. You just got a shifter were they forgot to drill the hole. B&M's are warranted for life anyway. Just send it back for a new one.
