Barton shifter broke!

[evoryne]

Hey guys so on my way home today from work I was shifting into 3rd and my barton short shifter snapped in half! Luckily I was close to home and was able to drive home in 3rd gear. Has this happened to anyone? It was under normal driving conditions no harsh shifting or anything. I'm very surprised and disappointed that this can happen with a product that's suppose to be made with quality.

Never seen it happen before.

I shift mine like it owes me money sometimes. No issues. You contact barton yet?

I'm sure they'll replace it for free lol.. Shit like that just doesn't happen every day.. Probably a fluke thing

This is the second instance i've seen this reported. Someone posted about this on one of the Facebook groups a couple months back.

I beat on my barton pretty hard. But I would be pissed if this happened. Luckily everything is ok and you werent stranded.

Barton is really good, they'll replace it for you. Shit happens sometimes

Had this issue before due to aggressive shifting, they replaced it no questions asked.

Third time I've seen this happen. Barton has great customer service though.

I also think they updated them......if I remember correctly.

Shoot Barton a call. They will replace it no problem. I would have hit them up first.

my Barton has been great, but this isn't the first time I've seen this happen, call them up, Dave is a good guy, he'll take care of you I'm sure

Thats crazy. I know you said it was during normal driving but how hard are you shifting when racing? You must be a big guy.

Thanks for the input guys, I do like the product hopefully they can replace it for me.
