Has anyone had problems with this shift ****. .
I have had mine for two months and the aluminum has already worn through to where you can see the brass. I called Zip products and they were more than happy to either exchange or replace it, but I don't want to replace it if others have had similar problems. Thanks :D :D

Yea, i have the other one similar to that - it has the etched emblem and it got a brass/gold look to it in NO time. Haven't decided what to do yet...

I have seen several where the finish has worn away. I would look into alternatives such as MGW, MOMO, etc.
