I have one of those reproduction 4 spd reverse lights that gonna get bolted under dash frame. So it will light up red if shifted into reverse so that should help.

Lots of ppl say if car up to speed and attempt to shift into reverse its gonna grind not go in, so they say.

Saw some ppl remove solenoid hammer a freeze plug in hole. Others cut coil out of solenoid spring. Some say your gonna get killed disabling lockout. But where are all the stories some catastrophy happened when yahoos all over the world disabled it? And you really think delete kits could be sold if dangerous? Lawyers would be on that like white on rice.

As far as silver sport warranty, they were nice, didn't put me on hold, said could discount a new one. Building a custom car things happen. I am going the simple mechanical route now remove wires put plastic plug in tunnel hole.

Sounds like a good plan to me! I have the Silver Sport lockout wired in so as long as it works I’ll rock that, but it’s nice to have some options if it stops working. I also have a reverse light wired in, I bought a factory one and put in on the dash. Not exactly sure why since nothing in my car looks stock but that’s what I did. I ran it without a light for awhile but I was having the opposite issue, finding 5th when I wanted reverse, and the light helps with that.

Good to hear Silver Sport was at least decent about the whole situation. Like you said, building a custom car with a crap ton of aftermarket stuff things just come up sometimes.

But yeah, I’m totally interested to hear how the fully mechanical version works for you!
