I have a car with pull up ring for reverse. It is mechanically made into the shifter assembly, so it would have to be custom made.

If your really cheap like me, you can do this...

You can, but there's a good bit that goes into the mod

This guy has an awesome build, but goes into detail on how he adapted a MT82 shifter to a remote mounted TR6060. For a traditional tail mounted T56, the mod is just to the stick/shifter assy. No reason a crafty person couldn't replicate the process

He starts the explanation around 11:00 in this vid

Finishes the mod in the first half of this vid

Basically, buy a shifter with the rev lock feature, weld the shifter stub to the shifter base of the T56. Fabricate a lockout guide. He 3D prints a prototype before CNC milling an aluminum block. Don't see why you couldn't caveman style that with some angle iron and a grinder



A button activating the OE solenoid is still the easiest. Mount it to the ****, stick, console, where ever you want

Here is an old vid of the 2 to 3 at 0.12sec. Hard to explain in a written reply but it's straight up with a tiny bit of muscle to the right. No 4 to 5 to demonstrate but you will get the idea. Not sure what gearing you have but a speed shift from 4 to 5 is not necessary in most cars. This had a 3.21 rear gear so top of 4th was around 120mph.

No chance you are going to reverse with this method.
