Just cuz it doesnt say anything about it, doesnt mean it doesnt exist
mine had one, had to cut huge square hole in it with a high rpm buzzer, you could prolly cut it with tin-snips that are nice and sharp too... word of advice, dont take it off, you can, but if you live in a generally hot climate, i wouldnt recommend it, had a few friends set fire to their cars and/or melt their floorboards...
correction: if you have one, you have to take it off to get out the shifter and place new one in, and b4 you take it out, i suggest you find a way to mark where the shifter is and cut maybe a 3x3 square hole, or something like that...
