Hey guys, Im getting a new shift **** for my birthday and I don't understand the reverse lock out thing... I'm looking at http://www.shopmomo.com/raceairleather.html It looks awesome but it said you have to get a specific one... I was just wondering if yall could help me on this issue. Is it hard to install?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys, Dan

 

It's easy. First, you put the car in reverse. Then get out of the car and lock the doors. Then...



I'm sorry. I couldn't resist.

 

i have this one and i LOVE it. http://www.shopmomo.com/race.html

if you install it the right way and make sure the set screws are tight (inject some silicone into the holes before threading the set screws so it will not back out after a couple of months) it will last -- mines been on for about a year and a half with no problems --

 

Hahaha that was funny midnightman :-P ... okay... thanks NXM. :-)

 

I think they are talking about cars that have a separate lever under the **** that you have to pull up with your fingers before shifting into reverse. If the **** had a long collar below it, it could interfere with the operation of the lockout lever. This doesn't apply to our cars where you pull up on the whole **** to shift into reverse.

 

Oh, I didn't know that at all. :-) Thanks a lot Plunkett... just clarified it all up for me. :-)

 

Thanks Plunkett. I thought we had to use "reverse" or "s" type shifters only. That opens the door to many different options. Hmmm

 

Guys, I just went out to my car and pulled up the boot... There is alike a cone shaped dealy directly connecting the boot and **** ya know? Do you just unscrew that counter clockwise?

 

I really like this one myself... mmm wood grain... i dunno, i always wanted one but it never would have looked right in my previous cars.. this time though, i think i can get away with it...



Racing Lab - Momo Mahogany Sphere Shift ****

 

yup; that collar unscrews and the **** pulls off (its on there good... but give her a wiggle and a pull and it should break loose).

- pop shift base off and remove window switches
- unscrew collar and remove old shift ****
- lay new collar around shifter
- set base back down (but not popped back into console)
- insert correct rubber adapter (smallest one that will fit)
- use set screws to lock down new shift **** on shaft (don't forget silicone)
- pull boot up around new shift **** and screw collar on (a little tough... you'll see what i mean)
- reattach window switches and set base into console

 

good luck!

 

Thanks for all the help Nxm.

 

Cool - thanks for the info. I've taken my **** off to examine its mounting but didn't know these Momo ***** would fit the 6-speed with the boot. Looks like its shopping time.

 

The MOMO ***** fit, but you'll have to do some creative installation to keep them locked tight on the shifter arm. The key is to use the tightest sleeve that comes with the install kit.

Pictures in my gallery...

 

Here's mine. Milled and machined adapter to fit. Much better!

 

Nice job Fritz...

 

THANKS! Glad you like it. ... I had to have some carbon fiber bling, if you know what I mean.

 

Looks and feels sooooooo much better now!

 

Looks Nice. Was it relatively easy? I will do mine maybe next month.

 

Piece of cake - just follow the excellent directions as previously posted. Only thing I do different is I don't pop the whole switch plate up, just the boot and its retaining ring but either way it works out the same. Took me less than five minutes to do.
