all t56 and tr6060 transmissions have a reverse solenoid lockout feature that only gets bypassed when the vehicle is actually on., you'd have to gorilla the HEAVY coil spring out of the way when you try to engage reverse with no 12v power to the solenoid. george |

this is VERY true excpet for the new ones being shipped within the last month or so have a built in alignment pin now so no need for this to worry about. BUT good call though because the poster also talks about having to swap the bushings out so he must have an older design since we have had new bushings included in our kits also for several months. george |

That is why I pushed up on it. I didn't think the gap was supposed to be there. It was still there even after I pushed it up and tightened it down. I'm not as concerned about noise as I would be water getting up there. Even in light rain or some water on the road, there is a chance some moisture could get up in there.

I called and spoke to George himself. I was hooked up with the upgrade as well! Thanks MGW!!!
ETA: received the upgrade kit today (05-09-2011) and installed it. Very easy to do for those that don't have it. I was also able to adjust the shifter so it isn't hard to get into 1st gear anymore. I did have it pushed up too far. I do have another question, I was checking clearances for the transmission control tube (?) where it shows in the video the gentleman being able to move his whole hand in their. I can't do that in all gears. In 1-3-5 there is plenty of clearance and I could probably do that. In 2-4-6, I can barely get my index finger in there - perhaps 1/2" or a little more. Is that enough clearance? I can't see the transmission moving up enough and staying up long enough to take that clearance away to cause any issues. Thanks again George for making this awesome shifter! Last edited by blake-b; 05-09-2011 at 05:55 PM. |
