Default guideplate/shift selector

Is it the shift selector assembly or the guideplate that determines how the shifter's movements are going to move the rail?

The guide plate limits and directs the rail. The interlock (on the rail) prevents 2 gears to be selected at once. The shifter only "complies "with what the guide plate ain interlock control. This is why it is foolish to add& use stops on a shifter.If the stops are adjusted correctly, they do nothing. If the stops are incorrectly adjusted, the interfere with the healthy function of the linkage.

Thanks for getting back so quickly. So it sounds like the interlock prevents 2 gears being engaged at once and the guideplate is what forces the shift rail to move otherwise. What does the shift selector assembly do? And it slides under the interlock? I guess there're 4 questions tied up in that paragraph when you get a chance. Thanks again buddies.

yes the interlock notches/plates prevets more then one gear selection,the shifter assembly fits into shift lugs and moves the shift rails to select the gear.

Hey 89 WS6, do you have any type of pics or drawing or explanation of how exactly the ssa/rail/lugs interact?
