hey NorMich99SE so how do you disable the reverse lockout without a reverse lokout knob?



LOL, I took it off the thread to keep from cluttering up Cuervo's buy, looks like theres a demand though so, with all due respect Cuervo, I'll just write it out on here. It's patheticly simple. Really. It should be noted that this is all based on my experience on my 99 SE. It may be different on other years/models, but no one has told me so yet.
To simply disable the lock out, pull up the boot and the plastic trim ring attached to the bottom of it. If you look at the right rear screw on the top mounting plate, you'll see a lovely little spacer. Get a torx bit and remove that screw, slide the spacer off and put the screw back in. Bye Bye lock out. It's really that easy.
Now, since we're talking shifters, lets go one step further and remove the collar as well so you can use whatever knob you feel like. First, take off the existing knob, then pull the whole boot assembly off, inside out. If you look you'll see that the boot is attached to the collar with a simple zip tie. Snip the zip tie and work the collar out, not too difficult really. Then thread a new zip tie in the boot where the old one was, slide it over the lever and cinch it down tight so it won't slide down the lever. Put everything back together and you're done. Take your time and go slow and it should take you like, half an hour.
Hope that helps everyone out that wanted to know. Best of luck on the GB!
