Reply to "Reverse lockout, home made"

Shifting seems faster and with less interference if you do the 'Quella' modification and remove the second detent in the shifter. One set is inside the ZF and is vital but the second is in the shift-stick box in the console and actually interferes with shifting in many cases.

To remove the second detent, remove the gate and the upholstered surround. Behind the shift stick, there is a round disc held in place with a snap-ring. Remove the snap-ring and disc, exposing the hollow cylindrical detent with a coil spring inside. Fish the spring & detent out with your finger and bag everything for long-term storage. Plug the now-exposed hole with a plastic plug or even a cork or duct tape to keep dust & debris out on the shifter mechanism, and replace the upholstered surround and gate. NO adjustments needed- you're done. Enjoy far easier shifting. Many Pantera shops automatically do this no-charge on cars brought in for other work. Some owners then rave about the "shifter adjustment" while others don't notice....
