Abstract
A replacement shifter peg is easily stored and allows for broken shift levers to quickly be repaired while requiring minimal tool use. The replacement shifter peg includes an adapter arm, a pedal, and a fastener. The adapter arm receives a broken shift lever, while the pedal is connected to the adapter arm in order to serve as new shifter peg. The adapter arm is formed from a tubular body (with a shaft-receiving region defined inside), a mount end that receive the broken shift lever, and a free end to which the pedal is connected. Fastener receptacles traverse through the tubular body to provide multiple position choices for fastening the replacement shifter peg relative to a broken shift lever. The fastener is a set screw that creates a vise by pressing against a shift lever positioned within the shaft-receiving region.
