Its a mechanical lockout device. If the lever is intact and the lockout
on the body is intact then it should work for you. Unless of course the
spring on the shifter isnt installed, it would sag and not shift so good
most of the time. 
Im a little mixed up on whether or not its the A1 or A2 chassis that has
a few pieces that can be replaced completely in the shifter system. I
think its the A2 pieces that im thinking about. There is a teflon or
plastic piece that you can replace on the piece that mounts on the body.
Something of that effect. Hmm. Id dig out my bentley but im really tired.
Maybe more on it tomorrow after work if nobody comes up with an
acceptable answer for you.
