RE: [DML] shifting question

[Travis Goodwin <tgoodwin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think I know your problem. Lift off the shifter boot and take a look under
the plate. You'll see there's a pin that goes through the shifter lever.
This pin travels along a channel and is what forces you to pull the shifter
up in order to go into reverse.

My bet is that the pin is bent and is causing your problem. Mine broke off a
long time ago and had to be replaced with an old, discarded allen wrench.
