MGW shifter handle

[COramprat]

I recently ordered and recieved the MGW shifter handle for Christmas (just had to hint to my wife it would be a good present from the kids). My concern is the set screws. I'm not a big fan of these things because from experience they tend to loose their holding power under use...especially heavy use like they would banging through gears. Anyone have one for a while now and how is it holding up? I don't want to install it until I get some idea of the durability of the design.

Been running the handle for over 1 year (=24,000 miles) with no problems whatsoever.

My handle held for 2 years... but this past summer when I got my clutch work done, I think he over twisted and now the handle is loose I slam gears all the time.

I need to tighten it up sometime but I worry that it won't hold anymore since when he over tightened I bet it scarred the handle part...

If you set the screws a quarter turn away from the gear shift point, they will hardly move.
