Shifter reverse lock out not working | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

I put a new shifter in and reverse lockout not working.
Any ideas (yes I searched) on what to look for first, second and ...
Should the shift plate be rotated slightly front towards the left and rear towards the right?

I sometimes hit reverse instead of second, ouch!

Bill,

Have you seen this thread, drclock wrote a very fine How to adjust shifter post about halfway down. https://www.speedsterowners.com/forum/readmsg.asp?t=16037 Best one I have read. I am saving it for when I have the cojones to mess with my shifter.

Hope this helps.

Dave
