That's impossible to do with any ratchet shifter. Even with a forward pattern.No it's because it's impossible to accidently get it into PRN You might miss 2nd but all that will happen is that it will end up in 3rd
Never say never!That's impossible to do with any ratchet shifter
.................Yeh but nobody said anything about a ratchet shifter........ LOLOLThat's impossible to do with any ratchet shifter. Even with a forward pattern.
Not if you have a brain freeze, and shift one too many times, LOL.That's impossible to do with any ratchet shifter. Even with a forward pattern.

Ok, with "modern" ratchet shifters, you'd bout have to be a dumbass. Especially with something like the Hurst Quarter Stick. It's obvious there's more than "one" reason. lol I've always kinda wanted to do a column shift with a reverse valve body.Never say never!
Yep, the old iron glides were PNDLR. If you wanted to force a downshift you tapped the lever down. If you pulled on it while yanking down, you get reverse.... at about 40 miles an hour. Im not sure how often i did it. Over or under five?AND NOW yet another annoying story from the old days
My first "mine" car (in high school had been somewhat driving Dad's "work" car, a 55 Chev stick waggon with a 5 hole 235)
So my first "mine" was a 57 Chev Moredoor 210, 265 2bbl and cast iron Powerglide. I had to look this up evidently the pattern was PNDLR, and the SHIFTER was a CONVERTED 3 speed on the column stick, so there were NO detents. This so called friend of mine was driving, and on the "pretence" of "finding more gears" he must have put the damn thing into reverse at least 3 times in about 10 seconds at about 40 MPH with me over there yelling at the top of my lungs and trying to get my hands on the key.
DAMN I WAS MAD!!!!
By the way that PG in all it's "cast iron-ness" lasted just about part of 1 whole summer. In went a 3 speed with a Hurst "misery shifter"
Got one! My a12 was that way when i bought it. The mechanism had been modified so a tap (with a slight push) from first to second was all that was needed, then a pull to drop down into third.Ok, with "modern" ratchet shifters, you'd bout have to be a dumbass.

They are nice. I've always loved the instantaneous shift.Got one! My a12 was that way when i bought it. The mechanism had been modified so a tap (with a slight push) from first to second was all that was needed, then a pull to drop down into third.
Loved the manual body. Shift early to be quiet, shift late to bark second..... every time.
Years sgo I had just bought a 70 ford F250. Someone had swapped in a 460. It was automatic. In all the 60s fords i had had if you were full throttle and threw the shifter all the way to L it would only downshift one gear.Ok, with "modern" ratchet shifters, you'd bout have to be a dumbass
