catchx34: I just PM'd this to you, but the others may find it useful as well:

If you are referring to the "C" shaped piece of steel, that's a cup remover tool. It is used to simplify removal of the blue plastic cup from the TWM short shifter if it is ever uninstalled, if for example you were to sell the car and wanted to part it out.

To use it, remove the shift adapter and hang the adapter and cup from a bench vise on the cup remover tool, then tap the adapter with a punch and hammer. The cup will stay on the CRT, and the adapter will be pushed out by tapping with the hammer.

I realize that we did not include this step in the manual on our initial shipment of shift adapters, so we'll add the step and publish the manual on our website as well. The cup remover tool is not required for the installation, but you may want to keep it if you ever decide to uninstall the shifter if you sell the car.

Thanks,

Kevin
