    So it is a detent? You can only shift into the next gear? Does this one pop back slightly as well? (Like the 70) :???:
    So if I am reading your previous post right, the only thing that changed in 1971-74 is the handle itself?  :D


    Sorry CP I am considering converting to the 71-74 handle so want to be 100% sure before I do.  :)

    So just for reference you can shift from 1st to second and it WON'T go any further? Then 2nd to Drive and no further?



    Cheers for your input mate.  ;)

    it is  a ratchet shifter , so it only allows i gear at a time so yes it will shift to second from fist then you have to release it momentarily & push again & it will go to third & locks out of neutral until the button is pushed allowing it into N , once in N it can be shfited back & forth between N & D , you need to push the button to get to first which activates the ratchet again
