Auto shift knobs Fri, 20 June 2003 09:57 Go to next message

I'm not that keen on the look & feel of my T-bar auto. Now, given that overdrive on the MA-61 is a seperate button on the cosole, I was thinking of using a manual shifter and dissabling the lockout feature on the auto. I can't imagine I could ever accidentally knock the shifter with enough force to jam it into reverse while on the move, so am thinking that this could be OK.

Is it a really dumb idea? Have I missed something obvious? Is there anything in the ADR's that could get me defected for this?

cheers,

Justin

I think you should go sit on your shift knob!!!

but serious this is just looking for troble!!! e.i cruising down the highway sitn on 100. reach out to change radio or the likes and jumper catchs your shifter as you bring your arm back. Get the drift it would be by by trany and engine.

I believe you can buy aftermarket handles(that still keep the lock out) from repco and the likes.

I would do it just for the reason that everyone says not to Twisted Evil It wont/shouldnt go into reverse anyway if your doing any speed.

if your complaint is about the T bar style, then go for the Commo or falcon style either the pistol grip, or the rolled top thingy with the lock under it...

dunno, just an idea...

An auto trans will go into reverse while moving. And its not only reverse. what if you clicked back to 1st accedently doing 100.
