Shifting Problem
If I am stopped at a red light and shift to 1 st when the light turns green, once in awhile I will be in reverse rather than 1 st. My work around is to always ship to 2nd and then slide the shifter straight up to 1 st. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix for it or do you just use my work around?

My shifter has a pretty good...um what to call it? It takes a pretty good push to get past the spring to move it into reverse. Maybe your spring is weak. Never have missed a shift into first as opposed to reverse.

B&M short shifter install instructions from are very comprehensive, with clear photos. Pelican Parts tech articles has a tutorial that is also ok, but not as clear as the B&M instructions.

I had this issue too, it turns out there's a shift cable that runs under the car and it popped out of the harness making it extremely easy to shift into reverse. I popped it back in and it was perfect.

I meant how to use or exactly what the green shift lock tool is for and or how to use it?

It allows you to align the shifter to centre. You then slide the cables into the holder, if it wasn't for the tool the shifter could be slightly left or right and also too far foward or back. It does make a difference in shifting as well - although I've read some people say it's just to align the mechanism.
