The detente plates are pretty sturdy units. I've discovered that the replacement shift levers, though, are made from even softer metal than the originals. If you have a mig welder (or have access to a welding shop), it's better to weld up the groove in the lever rather than replace with a reproduction. Grind it into the proper shape, and the weld will be far harder than the original metal: the repair will last longer.
