Scott, you are correct about the ball....it is an anti-rattle device

The answer is, yes

Scott,

Is this a race car? If so , toss the spring and don't look back! The factor=
y put that in there to stop the "sizzle" as the factory described it, from =
the gear shifter. Totally superfluous on a racer...just one more thing to f=
ail at the worst possible time.

Kinda lost my Sizzle myself...
