Don't have a digital camera. Just take the boot off and look at the shift tower. It has a hole on the right side. Hook up a ~1/4 inch dia. spring in that hole which is about 5 inches long going up to the lever. Fasten the spring to the shift lever with a small hose clamp making sure that the spring has just enough tension to hold the lever to the right on the 3-4 plane against the 5th & reverse barrier. This is not a lock, it just keeps the lever from flopping around in the neutral center and is a reminder not to go into the 1-2 plane accidentally. It does not hinder any of the shifting and is covered by the rubber boot. Look at the shift tower assembly and think; it'll come to you. Of course, if you want something more secure, a few hundred Dollars is still a lot cheaper than bent valves. Cheers.
