Reverse lock out on 95

[Whitecorvettes]

Thanks for the quick information. What's even better is that I had thought the lock out wasn't an issue on my 95' but couldn't recall where I learned that so decided I'd better ask first. Looking forward to changing the shifter, and after cleaning the old one up putting it in a box and storing it along with my other items....sure takes up less space than my exhaust system!

Thanks again!!!

I converted my 91 after having owned a 95 LT1 car. Just the reverse detent is much more difficult to push into- negating the need for the extra mechanism.

Mike,
I'm in Omaha this week. Want some help putting the shifter in? Want a few pointers about the install, the car or '95s in general?

Hey Ted,

I'd love some tips this week. However I'm out of town until late Wednesday night so first available time would be Thursday. We can meet some place for a bite to eat and look the car over. I don't have the shifter set yet as I just ordered it but I do plain on doing the work myself. I have some serious gear head friends who do work professionally who can be bribed with beer and pizza, along with the fact that I insist on doing the work, just want tips and guidance from them. My 65' and 95' Z are my classroom....and awesome looking classroom to boot!
