shifter stop plate | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

just replaced shifter, contiue to have shifting problems. goes into reverse without pushing lock out button. have reinstalled shifter ten times, made adjustments. is it ok to have the stop plate and shifter sitting on top of the carpet? should that matter at all?

No, the shifter and stop plate should NOT be on top of the carpet.

A carpet sandwich will change the shifter "ball" geometry...
