The reverse lockout does not work (i.e. you can shift into reverse without pressing down on the shift lever). It shifts into all gears without any problems.<br class="">The lockout plate on the '68 has two 'tabs' and I have it installed according to the Bentley Manual. <br class="">I did notice a groove worn into one side of the plate. Is this the source of my problem? <br class="">Thanks.<br class="">------------------------------<br class=""></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></body></html>
