The detent hole plugged with a quarter is a neat idea. When the stock piston, snap-ring and spring is removed, it leaves a hole. Plugging it keeps trash from falling into the hole. A cork, a plastic plug or at least a strip of duct-tape will keep the area clean. The chrome shift gate has nothing to do with the detent and can be replaced afterwards.
