Coolerworx Shifter Assembly (Dealers)

I could be wrong, but one would think that if you have to engage it for the lever to move that far over in the gate, it would have to be done for all gears past that point (i.e. 5/6/R) or if not, and it was only done for 5th, what's keeping you from inadvertently shifting from 5th to Reverse instead of 6th unless there's a way to lockout multiple gears? Not very likely to happen, but the lockout mechanism exists for a reason...

EDIT: Thanks for the link. Not much of it is cross-compatible with our cars however it did show me how to setup the stop nuts. I'll post how I assembled mine so far when I go home on lunch... hopefully it's correct although taking it apart is easy once you do it a few times.

That's a good point. I know it has fully adjustable lock out pins for each gear so what I'm concerned about shouldn't be an issue anyway. I was reading the description on SOHO's website and it says "each shift has fully adjustable gear lock out pins which prevent you from accidently selecting the wrong gear during usage, this can be set up for race applications, preventing 5th gear from being selected"

Are they saying that you could lock out 5th and 6th so only the first four gears would be usable?

This is good for track that don't have long straight aways like Auto Club and Big Willow come to mind!

And in my situation since my car isn't a freeway driver I don't need fifth or sixth for everyday street driving.
