Default A4 Shifter Cable Replacement

I am replacing the shift cable on an 03, The new cable has a red cover over the neutral lock(?) where it attaches to the transmission. This was not on the original shift cable. Is this supposed to be removed after attaching the cable to the transmission shifter arm?

Here is a picture of the transmission end of the cable.

Are you supposed to put the transmission in neutral, push the bushing on the transmission linkage stud arm and push in the neutral lock? I take it the lock synchronizes the cable to the positions on the shifter?
