OK, I was riding to work today, which I do everyday just to get used to by bike. There is a lot of road construction, and I mis-judged something bad and ended up planting the front end and going over, I figure that is par for the course until I get my skills on a 26 inch bike up to snuff. the front wheel bent a bit, no trouble there, spread the brakes and on my way, only to true it up later. It would seem as though my rear shifter completely went to [censored], when I got home I removed the shifter (XT 8 speed stand alone pod) and took it apart and shure enough, there was a broke piece in there. My question would be, is that whole pod mechanism, less the clamp and indicator part still available? does anybody have one? I need some help, as I am out of business until I fix this, driving a car sucks.

Oh I think it is a M740, if that makes sense...
You might have better luck trying a bike shop.
Thats the plan for today. I was just desperate in wanting some information last night... we'll see how it goes...

Even if you have to buy new ones, it won't break the bank. Good luck.
I broke a 8speed (rear) shift pod a month or so ago. I found 3 options, then chose the worst:
1) In town I found Alivio 8-speed rear shift pods for 25$ 2) Online I found an XT rear shift pod (or perhaps the whole set) for 35$ from Jenson and a bit more from Cambria. I haven't checked up on them lately, so I don't know if they're still available. 3) Upgrade to 9 speed.
I chose the Alivio because I wanted to ride the next day. It didn't work right out of the box. (User error could be an option, however I setup the XT pods w/no issue so...)
