Re: What's this on the shifter? (Maximus9000)
that is either an automatic shifter, or, not a vette shifter
If it is an auto, my guess is that it is the reverse interlock...

Re: What's this on the shifter? (bogus)
It is an auto shifter, looks just like all the C4 auto shifters I've seen except for this thing. Put an ohm meter across the terms and got 56 ohms open or closed.
This is the side of the terminal block.

My guess is it is the mechanism used to lock the shifter if the brake is not applied prior to shifting or the device to prevent being able to start the car when it is not in park.
If Im right, do I get anything? :D

You got it! Here it is!
Electromagnetic interlock
A holding device for immobilizing a cable includes a generally cylindrical electromagnet with a central passageway extending therethrough and a holding assembly comprised of a ferromagnetic body joined to a tubular stem. The ferromagnetic body and stem have a passageway therethrough and are disposed so that the stem passes through the central passageway of the electromagnet. A cable which passes through the passageway of the stem and affixed thereto is immobilized when the electromagnet is activated.
One example typical of such applications is the brake transmission safety interlock (BTSI) system utilized in automobiles. A system of this type operates to prevent a vehicle's transmission from being taken out of the "park" position if the braking system is not activated.
