Umm, any chance that it provides a kind of click-stop hold on the rod?
That is, rod moves all the way to one end and plunger settles into a
recess of some sort on the rod in order to hold it there until the driver
shifts again. It prevents the rod from sliding on its own until the driver
supplies enough pull via the shifter to pop the plunger up out of the indent
and allow the rod to slide to another position.
If the plunger doesn't bear down on the rod, then the above is a complete
waste of bandwidth... sorry...
