Hey Mike,
Sorry....ummmmmm, can you shift it hard by slapping shiftying it and it will only go one gear at a time, realease or pop back by itself the shift again. Like the slap-stik mechanism??
When I went for a drive in the 69 up north the guy looked like he was shifting up a few times but went a little to far and had to ease it back into the previous gear, aka NO detent.
I need detent.
