Today I came to change my shifter to my winter shifter (i know that sounds funny but Alcantara is warmer than aluminum in the winter)

Anyways, upon lifting up the leather i noticed all these plastic shavings, like something is rubbing

Anyone else ever see this? I can only assume this isn't normal

 

I also had this when I put on my alc shifter, at first i thought it was from me pulling off the boot but seeing your makes me think otherwise.

 

Totally normal.
I can't tell if it's graphite lubricant or worn off plastic, but it's normal.

Thanks,thought maybe i shifted too hard last time around the track

Did you have any trouble pulling off the shifter after twisting the lock? Mine won't seem to come off

Got it, was a lot harder than last year for some reason

 

Seasonal shifters... now I have seen it all.

 

The winters get cold here in Canada I usually do the whole winterize in Nov (winter tires/winter mats,put my ice scrapper in the car,etc...) but just had the itch to change the shifter today

 

ROFL......agreed...I guess us canadians are kinda whacked,LOL!!!

I guess I will need to winterize too........CANCEL insurance!

Yes I had the same problem, it did not want to come off, it was werethe metal prong slides into the plastic hole at the top
