Just wanted to know if anyone has any opinions on the shift lockout kit, does it help? How hard is the install? For $50, it may be worth it and my reverse gear may thank me.
I have all new bushings and the shifting seems to be as good as possible for a tail shifter but every now and then i clip reverse and im getting sick of it. Will this help? Or should i just save and transform my car to side shift, don't really want to since it is the original trans still in the car and i don't want a trans sitting in the garage taking up useful space! |

the kit springs increase the effort to move the reverse lock out plate (new ones are $19.50 from the bird. aa has them too) substancially. this promotes wear on both the plate and the spot on the shift lever that contacts the plate. ease up on the shift speed from 1st to 2nd. examine the plate contact edge and replace if worn. while the shifter assem is apart, replace the 2 bushings that cradle the pivot ball on the shift lever. those 2 are often overlooked during the rebushing process and they can make a noticable bif in the quility of the shifting.
