It's probably common knowledge to everyone except me. Searching didn't produce anything.
So, what's the purpose? To tell the driver they can shift from 1st to 3rd? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/shop.914rubber.com-13123-1308939741.1.jpg) |

Makes sense.
The funny thing is there's no way I would have figured that out with the condition of my shifting. The spring loaded plate doesn't engage till half-way to 4th/5th. I found out why (no the car hasn't been driven in 8 years... yet) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/lh3.googleusercontent.com-13123-1308940747.1.jpg) |

It's the ball cup bushing that the shifter sits in (tail shifter). It's just unrecognizably trashed.

QUOTE(kg6dxn @ Jun 24 2011, 11:33 AM)  Spring loaded stop at that location. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) AKA "Reverse Lock" - but in this case it also "locks out" 1st. Put in there to guard against accidental downshifts into 1st or R, esp. when racing - form which this 901 shift pattern was derived (from Porsche race cars' transaxles). It means you have to push a bit harder to get into that gate.. |

Ohh I was wondering, that makes sense since mine doesn't have that cup up front.
