I don't want to think about what would happen to my car if that happened. But the reverse lockout keeps you from being able to do that. You are right Bill. I think that is the function of the lockout. To prevent shifts from 5th to reverse. That would be VERY BAD! I would not get rid of mine. The minor inconvenience is a small price to pay for that insurance. 2000 Black CSVT MagnaFlow resonator, SHO/K&N cold air intake

"The whole Judy Garland thing kinda turned me on. That doesn't make me some sort of fag does it? "Nah baby, your money." 98 Black SVT #3560 of 6535
