Reverse Lock-Out

Is there anything special I should be doing to keep my steering wheel from locking up after I replaced my Stock 05 trans and diff to a 07 Z06 trans & diff?

Thanks!

I'd pull the steering wheel and remove the lock plate completely.

Transmission reverse gear lock out or steering column lock? The title is confusing.

Sorry, I think the issue is with the Reverse Gear Lock Out.

I've converted from the stock 05 trans & diff which requires the car be put into reverse to kill the engine. If you don't, the dash display asks that the car be put into reverse, and the battery dies.... I'm installing an 07 Z06 trans & diff which obviously doesn't come with that option...

Thanks again!

The problem is that there are two "bungs" coming off off an 05 stock trans, and there is only one hole in the new trans.

I'm guessing that the extra one has to do with the reverse lock....

HELP!

The one that has to do with the reverse has a ball on the end that trips the electronic column lock.

Andy and A&A said that "he thinks" that the two wires should just be connected, telling the computer that it's ok to shut down or whatever, but recommends calling TJ @ RPM (good advice!).

Again, Andy takes time out of his day to help with something that he didn't even sell to me. AWESOME GUY fellas, I'm telling you!

I'll try and get in touch with TJ, and see if he is as kind and generous as the A&A guys....
