I know its just a cheap trigger shifter but what has me confused is the fact that the trigger is on the backside of the shaft instead of the frontside. Looking around I can't seem to find any set up like that, all are to the front. With the groove machined on the inside I don't think it was just flipped around and with the weirdly (to me) spaced Empi logo I'm wondering if it is a knockoff.

Forgive me for not knowing- but is the trigger "reversible?"
Does it only have one mortis and tenon so to speak?

I'll agree about the trigger, but what is with the weird spacing?

Looks to me to just be an EMPI ripoff of the old Hurst shifter...
