Jeesus, I said if. (as in examples)
How can you possibly put a reverse pattern VB on a non reverse pattern shifter without one of them being backwards?
The only way I see it happening is if the linkage comes in from the other direction at the trans.

Are you saying the factory console shifter has lockouts for every gear position? (I didn't mean to use the word detents)


Not only can you use one. With the factory shifter it's pretty mandatory. See below..





Wrong wrong wrong....


A RPVB in a factory console has the detents in all the RIGHT Places.

Detent to leave and enter park.
Detent to leave and enter reverse.
Detent from reverse to Neutral.

Detent from 1st to 2nd
Detent from 2nd to 3rd.

No detent from 1st, 2nd or 3rd to go back to Neutral.


It is beyond ideal to run a RPVB in a factory console with a factory shifter. It is the perfect setup and you can't miss or mess up.
