Frequently Asked Questions
Here we list some of the most common questions we hear and their answers. If you have a question that you don't see listed below, feel free to submit yours to support@shiftworks.com.
Q: Do you carry conversion kits or linkages for my column shifter? | A: Yes, we do! The column linkage kit that we carry can be found here, and it is universal in design. |
Q: My new shifter / conversion does not have enough detents | A: Both the transmission and the shifter have detents, and they serve different purposes. The rooster comb detent in the transmission “locks” the Trans into a gear and the shifter detent protects the transmission from inadvertently being put into the wrong gear and causing damage to the transmission. Bumping the shifter into Neutral is not generally seen as harmful. The shifter detent makes it impossible to bump the transmission into Reverse or a lower gear with out the driver taking an action to do so. |
