MR Shifter?

So quick question, whats the difference between the MR shifter and a regular shifter. I saw a photo of it (see below) and I noticed it looks higher and has a ring around it. What does the ring do. I noticed that the STI has this as well.

You pull up on that ring to put the car in reverse. There is a reverse lockout so you don't accidently shift into reverse because of the different 6-speed configuration.

That pix is either a JDM MR or a Euro version MR comes with a leather shiftknob. All USDM MR's comes with aluminum shiftknob.
