Well it happened again, 55 mph on the interstate and go to down shift and found that I broke another 3-OD shift clip on my A-833OD hurst shifter...I had this happen in wall to wall I-5 traffic in Portland last year (about the same time)....luckily I keep a couple spares in the ashtray and just install another one after jacking up the car. I'm a little concerned that every 12 months or 10,000 miles I lose the same clip everytime. The shifter, rods, and rod ends are in great shape and theyhave a nice positive feel to them (not the usual 'sloppy' wobble when things get loose). The first clip was a stock 'spring' 'C' clip from Year One, I broke it and replaced it with a washer and a cotter pin and broke that too....anyone have my bad luck, or should I be thinking about deburring the hurst shifter lever hole and rod end to make sure I'm not stressing something? Never had this happen 'regularly' before...I'd fear about 'power shifting' during a drag race and getting stuck driving to the pit in OD...
