I'm just curious as to how they work with the little lever thingy?
I don't understand what it is for or how they'd change the stock gear stick?

Is it basically so that you don't have to push the gear stick down and into reverse?

I have seen one being fitted to a Ghia , best shifter I have ever seen, I have used Berg and thought they were the best until I used a Vintagespeed shifter, the little lever is for reverse lockout, you have to lift it up with your finger to engage reverse, so you can't accidentally select reverse when shifting fast

Ah, so that would solve my issue of my current one slipping into reverse when trying to change into second.
Woot.

Another thing on the list for Zelda, sweet!
