Shifter works well. Nice upgrade over the stock shifter. It's a bit of a pain to get on but eventually got it taking my time. You will need a cut the metal ring holding the shifter in place.
You'll need the replacement if you want to secure it the same way. Part number below. Only reason I don't give 5 stars is that part wasn't included. It's $0.40 so it should be.
