So, I printed a couple of these last night; I did one of each type. These were printed out of ABS which I’m still learning to get to print semi decently (my printer is not enclosed).

Unfortunately, while I was cleaning the printing slag off the 2-prong one, it broke (one of the tabs). I assume the designer made this one as it is likely more user friendly than the 4-prong one (on the 4 upper tabs, it either has 2 or 4 “teeth” to grab the holder on the shift lever).

Oh well, good enough to give it a go at least using the 4-prong one. And, certainly better than what I had before which was absolutely nothing.


EDIT:
Well, I took a few minutes to install the 4-prong one into my car. Well, unfortunately, it broke in the same way the 2-prong one did when I was pushing it into the boot collar. But, I figured, F-it, it’s good enough for now and I’m not really out anything so let me give it a go. Still better than nothing:

Guess I need to get better at printing ABS. Or, maybe redesign this part with slightly thicker tabs to be more durable…? Or, is it just because it is printed, it will always be a bit brittle?

Maybe I should've put this in the "Official 'What did you do to your car today?' Thread" thread . . . ?

Happy to report, first drive this morning, floorboard was damp (not soaked) so still likely residual from before; and, when I took the turn out of the driveway, no sloshing or water running down the dead pedal. Only thing I'm not sure of is whether or not there was enough moisture last night to "fill" things like they usually do (typically, my sprinklers run Wednesday mornings but I'm not sure if they did, and it didn't rain) so I'll continue to keep an eye on things. But, first test thus far has been positive (I just hope I'm not getting my hopes up).
