AT Shift Link Clip -- What is this used for?

[boots96]

Shift linkage bushing on my 71 280 SL needed replacing, so I ordered Part # 112 268 01 50. I also saw reference to a AT Shift Link Clip as Part # 000 994 41 60 and figured I may need that part too. I'm now at the point of installing the bushing and finishing the repair, but I can't figure out if the clip is needed or not. From some other forum posts, it looks like the linkage arm (with bushing) just gets pressed on the peg of the tranny lever and therefore, no clip is needed. Anyone had any experience with making this repair that can give me some advice?
