Wait, am I blind? Where is the 6060's reverse lockout?84 325e - 91 325i - 92 318 touring - 91 Trans Am - 01 S4 avant - 03 S-type R - 96 F350

It's hard to see in this photo, but it's on the "top" side of the extension housing, with the electrical connector pointing away from the camera.
So I'd need a turret housing that would accommodate both the shifter as pictured and the Corvette reverse lockout solenoid. AFAIK, GM never made anything for that, so I'd have to machine the housing (and probably a part or two inside) in order to make it work.

In the original application, the reverse lockout is operated by the ECM, but I've read that it can work fairly well when operated by a switch on the brake pedal.
CAGS = Computer Aided Gear Selection
It's an emissions/fuel economy bandaid that under certain circumstances (RPM, Load, etc.) will lock out 2nd gear in such a way that when you try to shift from 1st to 2nd, you shift straight from 1st to 4th.

Waiting on progress pics!
I don't get why the CAGS solenoid has to be on the side of the trans and the R solenoid is on the top of the vette trans... Seems like it would have been better for us if they were reversed... Then the R solenoid would be easier to run, and everybody hates CAGS anyway, 'cause it's BS LOL.-Christian
