You don't need it, just get someone to hold the gearstick in the neutral position and nip the nut and bolt up - easy peasy.

You don't need one. I did it by shoving a CD case between the gearstick and reverse gate, with the gearstick standing straight up, and some duct tape to hold it in place. The only thing is to make sure you have enough space between the gearstick and reverse gate, the CD case does it. If not you won't be able to select reverse, as I found out  :smiley:
