Well after roughly 3yrs of driving with my cheapo eBay short shifter, it finally happened...3rd to 4th and my arm flew to the back seat like an abusive parent.

so I ordered another cheapo haha hoping for just as long of a lifespan out of this one and that suits me fine over a skunk2 for $180+..thats just not realistic right now so I got a dual bend this time and I can't find any decisive answers on the direction it's supposed to go.

My now broken single bend shifter comes up then bends towards me/the rear of the car. Which could very well have been the wrong way this whole time, it just seemed like the better of the two ways it can go I guess. Still wasn't 100% sure though.

So does the first bend on the dual bend shifter come up then bend backward (toward rear) or forward (toward dash) before it goes up again for the ****?

Pretty bad drawing of what im asking here but if it makes sense do you think it's direction (A) or (B) ??

thanks a million!

Yes, like in example "A". The shift **** goes closer to the REAR of the car.

Thanks guys! Got it done yesterday in the bitter cold. Went with example (A) and replaced the stabilizer bushings while I was at it. Now just gotta pray the thing doesn't snap again anytime soon haha..or at least until warmer weather gets here 😩
