Oh, I gotcha. Most of the Ford autos I've had stay in gear, come hell or high water (if it's in 2, it's in 2). I can't speak for the 'Tique's, though.



MATTY K, you described correctly how they work. I can drive normal without having to shift. but, when i rachet it down to 1st, it will stay in 1st even up to redline. same goes for 2nd and 3rd. oh, and where did my overdrive button go??? we put a momentary micro-switch on my dash since i only use o/d on the highways. this shifter definately works great since you can just smack it and not worry about going up 2 gears. i'm going to do rachet shifters in my accord since i hit 8,300 rpm daily in that, and my civic hatch too. but i'll use different models in each so i can see which ones are best. hopefully do those 2 cars this summer.
