Correct. The bottom of the shift handle snaps into the shifter base with no tools, for ease of assembly. There is a notch on the stick that corresponds to the retention tang on the clip.
Incidentally, the guy that installed these shifters on the assembly line, as well as the M20 shifters, worked for me when I ran the Fender Set area. He also installed the cab running lights and the SPID label.
My handle does not say "Hurst" on it, which is probably why you don't find them when you search (most sellers probably don't know it is a Hurst stick).
