5 speed shifter alignment tool

I'm not sure what it is there for, but some people take it off when upgrading their shifter. I think the cable might rub on it when using a shifter that sits lower in the cradle. I don't have the green part on my shifter which is the Ben006 B&M clone. I haven't had any problems.

ah.. it's starting to make sense. i've never seen it on my shifter because the first time my B&M was installed on my totally stock boxster it was done by my mechanic who was working on my car at the time and did this as well so he prob removed it. and it's true that the right cable sits lower with the B&M and almost catches on some of the plastic edges of the assembly. with the green piece in place it would definitely rub.
