Re: [DML] Re: PRV Performance / 6 Speed trans

[mike.griese@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

It's not quite where reverse is in the Esprit.  There is a lockout
on reverse where you have to lift the shift lever (or pull up on 
a collar on later models) in order to engage reverse.  This could
still be used as long as the translator on the gearbox is changed 
to allow another selection.  The DeLorean shifter is completely
different, with reverse outside of the 1-2 plane.

That said, I haven't heard of anyone in the Lotus community who
has done this conversion, which is probably why the website
is so dated.  Most times, when someone wants a stouter box 
with another ratio, they go with a Hewland.
