• Returns crisp detents for clearer gear selection
• Prevents misalignment that can block gear engagement
• Matches OEM mounting points for secure fit

What should I know about installation and compatibility checks?

Installation typically requires removal of the steering column trim and basic hand tools; experience with automotive trim and column assemblies is helpful. Always verify the part number, model year compatibility, and that your vehicle uses a column-mounted shifter before attempting installation.

• Remove lower column covers to access mounting fasteners
• Disconnect the battery when working near the column for safety
• Test gear positions before reassembling trim panels
• Refer to a repair manual or professional if unsure
