I was going to replace it anyway, so I attempted to disassemble it and rebuild it out of curiosity. I found that the bearing had destroyed itself also (groves and misplaces ball-bearings).
Now looking for a genuine B&M or Porsche..... anyone have a used one?

That's why I want to change mine. I bought the car used and the shifter came with it. I took it apart the other day and found that there's no washers, which results in the stick wiggling left and right, and the cylindrical bearing pieces were falling out. Not sure if the brand name ones are more solid and sturdy.
