1. A bashing for coupling a shift cable end and shift lever, said shift cable end comprising an oblong body having a front end and back end, an outer surface and inner surface creating a coupling aperture, a front shelf extending from the inner surface of the front end of the oblong body into the coupling aperture, said front shelf having a protruding member rising vertically along the center of the front shelf and a semi-circular member rising vertically from the front shelf and perpendicular to the protruding member, said semi-circular member extending horizontally beyond the front shelf, a rear shelf extending from the inner surface of the back end of the oblong body into the coupling aperture, and a notch in the inner surface of the front end of the oblong body, said shift lever comprising a base, a shaft, a neck and a head, said shift cable end coupling with said shift lever through the assistance of a retaining clip comprising an elongated body bent such that the retaining clip has two arms, comprising:
a seating member configured to sit within the coupling aperture having a first end and a second end, a top surface and a bottom surface, and an outer surface defining an oblong body;
a bore within the seating member running from the bottom surface to the top surface of the seating member and forming a passage sized to receive the shaft of the shift lever;
a securing member extending vertically and longitudinally from the first end of the seating member configured to engage the notch in the shift cable end;
two angled surfaces rising from the top surface of the seating member to opposite sides of the securing member configured to engage the arms of the retaining clip;
two supporting members rising vertically from the top surface of the seating member and running lengthwise along each side of the seating member;
a first recess in the bottom surface of the seating member configured to accommodate the front shelf of the shift cable end;
a second recess in the bottom surface of the seating member configured to accommodate the semi-circular member;
a third recess in the bottom surface of the seating member configured to accommodate the protruding member; and
a fourth recess in the bottom surface of the seating member configured to accommodate the rear shelf.
