there's a Sev Marshall perforated boxy thing above the gearstick, can anyone tell me what it is?

That's great many thanks I thought I was doing something wrong!

any help & suggestions on how to bolt these two together the best way, I tried yesterday with the gearbox on a skateboard, lined up at exactly the same height as the block so it would move towards the engine as I did up the bolts but there was an incredible amount of resistance to doing up the...

Thanks Robert.
