A buddy gave me this shift ball today and the clear plastic over the shift pattern is all cracked/ crazed. The cracks do not appear to go all the way through and actually look like surface cracks but not sure?
Has anybody got any first hand experience fixing these? Or is it even fixable? Clear plastic replaceable? Look for another shift ball? Any help appreciated |

Well, not that I wouldn't mind selling you one, but you can try wet sanding it. I wonder if you filled with CA (superglue) if it would fill in and allow you to sand it down?? Pretty sure it is an acrylic, and they can be polished, so give it a whirl. If it doesn't work I got what you need.
