Re: Installed new Momo shift **** today
I was out on vacation to Wyoming and Colorado last week.... I went out to get something out of the car and found the ///AMG inset for my shift **** was laying on the seat.... I have had the shifter for over a year and it wasnt very hot out in Laramie last week.... it is JB welded on now...I dont think it will go anywhere in this lifetime..

This is a common event with all the Bling (crap) people are sticking all over thier cars.
The history of the Crossfire is following in the '70s Porsche 924 footsteps. They ended up selling so cheap the people that bought them could only afford the cheapest of accesories to "stick" on them. Try finding a complete stock one, that's worth storing, good luck.

Re: Installed new Momo shift **** today
I believe that Inferno was referring to a shift **** from ForMyMercedes.com. I know I was. At $109 I don't consider it the 'cheapest of accessories'..... and I think it looks better than the factory shift ****.
It does seem to warrant a letter to them to change the adhesive they use to attach the metal section to the **** though..

Re: Installed new Momo shift **** today
Montana Crossfire,
You are certainly entitled to your opinion, and thanks for sharing it. Now here's mine.
First, the carbon fiber **** in question is not a Momo brand ****. That is just the title of the thread.
Second, I wouldn't call a custom-made carbon fiber **** that costs $120 "cheap". It's unfortunate that the inlay pops off in the heat, but a little epoxy fixes that problem permanently. The carbon fiber is of high quality.
Third, in my opinion it is the OEM automatic shifter **** that looks cheap and tacky, and by comparison this particular carbon-fiber **** look classy, and is the type of **** that Chrysler should have used in the first place.
Other than installing an aftermarket stereo to replace the OEM that has no inputs, this was my only "bling" mod. If that means I'm sticking "crap all over my car", sorry taht you feel that way. As for your comment about the economic status of people now buying used Crossfires, that comes across as slightly elitist.
Good day.

Ouch! I recant...
Exploding gear shift ***** at any price seem CHEAP! Cheap doesn't always mean inexpensive.
The MOMO steering wheel on mine, YES! it was way too expensive for the quality it has.
Trust this, is 10 years when your $120 ***** worth 5-10 bucks in a scrap bin your stocker will be worth MUCH MORE!

Besides, when I go to sell I'll put my OEM **** back on the Crossfire so I can reuse this one when I get the SLK 55.

Hey InfernoRed,
For the absolute best adhesive go with Clear 100% Silicone.
I guarantee it will NEVER fall off but for the rare possibility you may want to remove you may be able to pry it off. Plus it is much cleaner and easier to use. Just put a very thin layer on and your done.
Hope I didn't insult your purchase.

Yeah, JB weld works REALLY good but it can be messy.... and you will NEVER take the part back off without destroying everything...
I emailed ForMyMercedes.com today about the insets coming off and he said he was using heat before and was having problems and has now changed to something else..
You guys that just bought yours should email him too so he knows it is a problem with new ones still....... mine is about a year or more old.....
