Hooked my shifter up, and bolted it down. I really like the 'gate' that it has. My old shifter worked fine, but this is more positive as it more or less locks into each position, and has a spring feel to the handle. I also opted for the reverse lockout so I don't do anything stupid by accident.
Side note; I was using a drill-socket adapter thingy that I had extra from a Ryobi drill kit. What a piece of garbage. Installing a self tapping screw for the shifter.
