I wish that was the case but I dont think its something that would just go away. Picture this..... You are upshifting from 4th so naturally you push diagonally away and up from you. What it seems to be doing is going slightly too far right. Like the neutral gate extends a quarter inch past the gates for 5th and 6th. Its almost as if you can start pushing it towards reverse without pressing down on the knob like you would to normally engage it. Something is surely awry. Plus my car has been throwing a p0300 code again lately. It did it last year a couple times and now did it last wed before I took it to the dealer. I cleared it w my friends obdII but it popped back up today on the way home what a mess. The code is for a random cylinder misfire. I wonder what is causing this. I plan on checking my spark plugs very soon. UGH, Z FRUSTRATION!!!!! Of course all this is happening as I am trying to install the rest of my mods and prepare for ZDAYZ in May

I think it shouldn't be a problem with the fold-down back seat.... |

Here is a drawing to better explain the problem. The arrow is pointing to the groove that its getting stuck in. Like I said, its like the neutral gate extends too far before you have to push down for reverse.

I took Mr.Alcheng's advice and went down to see how the water looked today.
photo by J M Gale, on Flickr I didn't go to the beach though, I'm not sure I would make it safely over the speed bumps now with the swift springs. I'll test it out another time.

That might be the plate for the reverse lock-out. Lift up your shifter trim (you'll need to lift up a rubber boot as well) and run through the gears, look closely at the nub on the right side of the shifter in relation to the proximity of the lock-out plate. Perhaps they messed around with the shifter/lock-out plate?, although they shouldn't have had to remove it.

Seriously, driving over bumps with the Swifts just takes practice. I almost never rub. Think "angles". Think "slow". Think, but don't say "screw you guys honking at me because it takes me so long to exit the grocery store parking lot". I hope this helps.

Hmmmmm. Im not too familiar in the realm of the transmission. You guys are saying it could be a simple shifter adjustment that could be off??

Oh, I've done speed bumps, no problem. But these "speed bumps" are huge, 3' wide, and who knows how tall... My plan of attack would need to be a full road blocking angle! I'll wait and take my wife down to the beach, that way if I get stuck I have someone to push the car.

Check out GaleForce's DIY for the short shifter install. Might give you a better idea on what to do. Good luck!

Ok, just ripped all that apart and put it back together. Im no expert in the trans dept as I said but all looked well. The groove that it is getting stuck in is before it hits the block off plate. Can the block off plate be shitfted???
