Without disparaging Delorean 1, you can do a lot to a PRV motor and not get anywhere near $12,000. I hope they did more then just rebuild the motor. BTW I would expect it to run like a Swiss watch for that money! About the shift mechanism for the automatic, go to the Parts Manual 4-6-0. You can see you can access the mechanism from inside the console. There are some differences depending on you vin #. If you don't have a Parts manual you can download it at DMCNEWS.COM.
