yes at the bottom of the sliding piece there are 3 screws that hold the reverse lock out on, just remove them and you dont have to worry about anything. you dont even have to remove the locking pin that holds the sliding piece from coming off.

Haven't you ever seen the pics of the rat driving the hot rod with the 8 ball shifter and flames shooting out of the exhaust? IMO the 8 ball is played out and is just cheap rice.

I feel like that metal knob could get really hot...does it?
and you can leave the RLO on right? are there benefits of taking it off?

RLO is useless to us, but doesn't hurt to leave it on
I haven't had problem with the knob getting to hot, but with the shifter I had in my Cavy it get very cold in the winter. as for removing the RLO, it's a matter of how you want it to look. IMO if you use the knob that comes with the shifter keep the RLO and use it to hold up the boot. If you use another knob remove the RLO.

so is this ebay shifter a lot shorter than the stock one? how does it compare to the twm? give me some info, i want to get a short shifter, but i want a good one, so if i can pay 40 bucks as opposed to 140 and get the same performance/quality that would be nice haha

You need to put that plastic cup on your new shifter.
Ebay shifter is good Quality and the throws are shorter than stock, TWM,s throws should be shorter because with the TWM you need to cut the shifter base for clearance.
