i am gauging interest in custom made lockout for you guys that drag race your cars.

i have a custom made lockout which allows me to completely lock out 5/6 and reverse when you are at the track.

actually you could do it anytime you want to bang gears for that matter and at the flip of a switch.

sounds like something i need too do soon what is needed too do it ??

 

i machine parts, provide spring and sell as an assembly. but i am not a sponsor on the site, so i really can't pimp parts. I was just wondering if it is worth the time at all.

thanks
taner

 

Taner,

Call me. I have to many customers that need this. One I just got off the phone with as a matter of fact.

Amber

 

I am interested.
And my tranny is still at six speeds. hopefully not under water. lol
Would the tranny have to come back apart?
What would be the aprox cost?

 

No we aren't under water thank goodness. We did get 8"'s here at the shop. We had the boats out but didn't need them.

Joe,

Call me when you can. We are ready to go on yours.

Thanks,
Amber

 

i need a good reverse lockout that allows me to power shift 5th................. i tend to grind reverse and scare people by turning on my reverse lights at 130+ ?????

 

you should not be powershifting into 5th man. 1-4 are the racing gears.

 

normally dont, but when im doing a big highway roll against a big boosted light weight car whats a man to do when he is up against a 7300rpm limiter in 4th.......................... bang anouther gear

 

yea, i know what ur saying, been there done that! Sometimes it just takes some maturity to break it down at the top of 4th. Or in this case the piece that taner's working on

Count me in

 

I'm trying to understand why someone would need to lockout 5th, 6th, and reverse at the track (or anywhere for that matter). Umm, just don't shift to those gears....???

Am I missing something?

 

yes. blocking out 5th will alow less chance of error on the 2-3 shift. As well as eliminating the urge to just shift to 5th like mentioned above.

 

i need a couple of days to sort out rough cost to produce them. please bear with me. i apologize i should have done that legwork first prior to putting this post up.

and then from there figure out on how to sell them properly, since i am mentioning this here on the site. i already have some ideas on that. Amber I will call you by Friday. eitherway it will be legit when it comes to.

 

Huh, I didn't realize accidentally shifting to fifth was an issue. Touche, salesman...

 

Signing up to see this modification....

 

I've had the same problem. It's pretty easy to overpower the spring in the reverse lock-out solenoid housing. All I did was disassemble the housing and remove the spring and replace it with a solid piece of round stock with a hole in the center. You could use a bunch of washers stacked up, also. Just compress the spring and remove the e-clip on the end of the rod. Remove thick washer and the spring. Stack the washers on and replace the large washer and e-clip. Done! There is no way in the world you can accidentally throw it into reverse now. The only drawback is that if your reverse lock-out solenoid fails you can't overpower and still put it in reverse.
