It's two metal pieces. No real pictures to take. :)

Is this shifter easy to install and worth the money? I've heard some people have ended up removing them due to linkage problems. It's hard to believe it can make a difference for $20.

I know it is hard to believe, but that is the advantage to having a linkage style transmission like we do. You don't have to replace the entire shifter, only these two little metal pieces. Replacing these parts really does make a difference. The shift throw is much much shorter.

I have had these on my tranny for well over a year, and it is one of the best things I have done. It took me a few days to realize "Yeah, it really IS in gear." because the movement is so reduced.
