I replaced mine when it suddenly disintegrated as I was driving along. (And I have OD). I had no trouble getting the part from TRF at the time (5 years ago).
You have to remove a thick snap ring that holds it in place. The only difference in the procedure for a OD gearshift, I believe, is that you have to know how to remove the knob. (Hint: you CAN'T simply unscrew it.)
