Default Shifter install question

For those who installed your own short throw shifter what so you do with the shift control neutral lock pin? I have a B&M short throw but can't figure out what to do with the lock pin.

There's no provision to store that on the aftermarket shifters so you'll have to decide where you want to keep it.

OK---well if anyone wanders across this post with the same question....the pin was used during assembly as a guide and is not used for anything once the car is finished. So you can toss it.

Are you talking about the little pin on the forward side of the stock shifter? I hope I did not need that. :rolleyes:

Yes you do! That keeps the shifter from falling out during WOT shifts! :lolg:

JK. That's used during adjustment. I'm sure the tech can come up with a spare or replacement. :yesnod:

I tried just leaving the pin in, but it would lock the new shifter....I pulled the pin and my Hurst shifter works fine.... :steering:
