The shift lever part number has been replaced (superseded) by #13242-0004. This means that any year EX500 shifter will work, which may help in finding a used one.

When you install the Woodcraft rearsets and want to adjust the shifter to your natural setting, the fact that the shifter linkage is ''under'' the shifter rotational axis makes it so the linkage bumps against the axis and the shifter can't go down any further. This may give you a hard time shifting into first. You can raise it up a little bit, but then it may be too high to give you a good feel.
