Don't waste your money with bbk

This past sunday while driving down the road, I all of a sudden have no throttle. Well I coast to a stop on a side street and pop the hood. When I opened the hood, a part of the tb shaft and my throttle cable are laying off to the side of the tb. The shaft snapped where one of the screws attach to the tb blade. Well today I call BBK. I didn't expect any kind of warranty from them since the tb is almost 4 years old. Even though it only has about 20k miles on it. Well first I ask if I can just get a replacement part to fix my tb. They tell me they can't because of liability issues. So I said thats fine. Well I then ask if I could send them the tb and still they so no. The guy tried telling me there may have been changes to the parts so there is no way they can fix it. I don't know about you guys, but I can't imagine there is much of a difference in how the tb was made in 2001 and now. Even if there were some changes, how drastic could they be? Either way, I was pretty disapointed in the attitude of the first person I talked with. I am lucky that this thing broke at part throttle and not full throttle. It might not have closed back. There is no way I will ever buy a part from this company ever.
I am glad I didn't buy this in the first place.
