Might wanna try this in the "transaxle" thread...just a thought
Oh, and bad idea to just cut the shifter...I'd be a lot better decision to either get the B&M shifter or the Steeda...Search around a bit and you'll find your answer

Not a big deal haha...But a few posts that ive read is that all you'd need to do is cut the shifter and use a die, otherwise just use a non threaded shifter...Also to get rid of the reverse lockout you could take the cable and pull it tight so it seems that the reverse is always pulled and just tack it to the shifter itself...That way you dont need to get under the car to completely remove the lockout...Someone please correct me if im wrong though!
