How does the matte-black cast lever improve shifting performance?

The lever's cast construction increases rigidity compared with thin stamped parts, reducing flex under load for more precise shifts. The matte finish reduces glare and hides wear, while the included knob and cover provide improved grip and a more controlled hand feel.

• Rigid cast design for consistent shift engagement.
• Matte coating resists reflections and camouflages scratches.
• Knob and cover deliver anti-slip tactile surface in wet or muddy conditions.

What is included in the package and are there installation notes?

The MOTO1988 kit ships with the cast matte-black shift lever, one shifter knob and a knob cover ready for installation. It’s sold as a bolt-on replacement; basic hand tools typically suffice, but confirm fitment against your OEM numbers and the vehicle’s service manual for torque specs and alignment tips.

• Included: 1 cast matte-black shift lever, 1 shifter knob, 1 knob cover.
• Fitment: Custom-fit items — compare pictures and OEM numbers before purchase.
• Support: 24-hour customer service and one-year product service from MOTO1988.

Will this kit affect warranty or resale value?

Because the parts are direct-fit replacements with OEM-compatible mounting, installation is typically non-destructive and reversible. Keep original components if you anticipate returning the vehicle to factory condition for warranty work or resale; document the parts and installation details to avoid confusion.

• Non-permanent swap when installed with original fasteners.
• Retain stock parts to restore factory condition if needed.
• Save receipts and compatibility references for future service checks.
