I may be too late here on you reverse problem, but let me tell you about mine. I noticed I was having a terrible time finding reverse, so I took the plate loose to see down the shift handle. The little bar that forces the shifter to follow the shift pattern had broken off. So, I had no idea how high to lift the shifter to get into reverse. I stuck a small rod in there and it corrected the problem. > -----Original Message----- > From: cruznmd [mailto:racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Sunday, August 10, 2003 9:54 PM > To: DMCForum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [DMCForum] Soooooo close. > > I have discovered that my WOT microswitch sticks.
