My New Shifter
I jjust put one of these on.
I like it, but it did require a little bit of rigging.
This shifter does have an O/D button and when wired properly, it works jus great.
First, after the leather one is off, take the white plastic insert out of the inside of the new shifter.
It will not go over the shifter rods unless you do so.
Then pry the O/D wire holder out of its bracket.
You will have to cut the plastic bracket off of the O/D wires in the shift area and splice them to the new lines. (The instructions say to remove the shift plate. That was Not necessary. It is simple, it is held in with a push in bracket at each of the four corners. The first time you take it off, you will be very careful, but it is simple and later you will pop it on and off as you please. But, it is not necessary to remove it for this install)
I went ahead, cut the O.D wiires, and soldered them to the new shifter wires and covered them with heat-shrinkable tubing.
Figure 2.6 of the illustration above will need to be cut Way down. to about 2 inches left. Cut it down to 3 or 4 inches and then shave it down as you fit it to the shifter.
There are two set screws that you can use. I had to put them in the back of the shifter. The front has the holes, but nothing to tighten the screws down to. (It is plastic there.) But the rear ones are working just fine and keeps the shifter tight. At first it seemed a little guady, but I love the feel and I wanted the wood grain version.
I like this shufter so much that I sold my leather shifter.
Here is a pic of it installed:
