If a gear lever was going to break in a Sportivo then my guess would be that Danthuyer would be the first to do so:)

[Slurdog]

what is a gear lever?

and how would it break if subjected to high handling force?

is it the part that slots the gears into place or something?

[CAP]

Yes the shifter would most likely be a different part in the lotus, and with the amount of track/drag days the Sportivo's have done to date, it would have happened already if it was going to break.

[iniff]

the recall is specific to 04-05 cars, it could be possible that our 05 stivos havent hit the track enough ;)

nah i'd say theres a good chance its a completely different part.

the exige was only built in '04-'05
