I tried it and I couldnt get it to move. I kept it under fire for 20 minutes. I tried cooking it in my moms oven for 45 minutes at 400 degrees C and whacked the **** out of it and nothing moved, I just ended up ruining my shifter so I bought a B&M... works awesome.
hey Eric don't know what happened to yours but Merlin modded a couple of them..you had a ****ty shifter that's why :D

yea I know :( , I talked to Merlin about my shifter and he was even puzzled. I thought I was doing it wrong, but it was just messed.

Anyways to get back on topic, my buddy with a teg has an aluminium short shifter and I can affirm that aluminium shifters dont realy feel "positive" as perhapsadingo8yerbaby mentionned earlier.
