They're at the end of the linkages where they connect to the shifter plate thingys. OE are plastic/rubber and the 42dd ones are brass/aluminium (I think). Gives a nice direct mechanical feel.

Am I right in thinking that once a short shift has been fitted, it takes more force to get into gear as the pivot point has shortened??
