just bought my first car its a 93 civic manual, my mom was driving today and the shifter broke clean in half

my brother suggests that i take it apart pull the shifter out and have it welded.
should i just go to the junk yard and buy a new piece?
and how does all the center console and that taken apart?
this is my first car and i dont know that much so all the help i can get counts!

thanks

just replace it with a short shifter lol. how did it break? you got pics? lol

the metal piece where you shift broke off completely in half so there is still the actual part you screw in it inside the **** and no i dont :/

i just took the console apart and how on earth do you get the whole stick out? is it something easy to do or something serious?

i would just get a universal shift **** and plop in on. unless you're replacing the entire shifter, you shouldn't have to take it out. not sure how easy it would be on a 93 civic. ive only done it in my jeep, and there's plenty of room under there to work lol.

Funny seeing this, I actually had to replace the shifter twice. Oh boy do I miss this car :/ RIP Stacey #forevermissed
