Default Stock shifter doohickey

Weird question: Anybody know what that little L-shaped doohickey is on the front of the stock shifter? It fits into a little hole in front of the shift mount. But it doesn't seem to do anything. And aftermarket shifters don't have anything that goes into that same little hole. Just curious.

That is the alignment pin used to maintain "neutral" during intstallation. The pin drops into a corresponding hole and locks the shifter from moving.
