Hi George,
Constructive criticism is always welcome.
As with other transmission issues - it is hard to diagnose at arms length.
I have driven cars with our shifter, with and without GateShift kit &/or PSJ and found a variety of "click" & "no click" - with no pattern.
The click is a function of the reverse lock-out plunger being deflected a long way as the shift lever cuts the corner from 4th to 5th gear. As the lever clears - the plunger extends - spring propelled to it's limit of travel - resulting in the "click"
I believe it is a combination of the depth setting on the nose of the spring plunger (which is sub-assembled at Windrush) and the fore-aft setting of the lever position.
I think the general tendancy is to have the lever adjusted too far rearwards and this will tend to make the lever catch the reverse lock-out when crossing neutral from 4th to 5th.
The tab -or- button on the side of the shift lever should only depress the reverse lock-out plunger when the lever is pulled to the rear edge of the neutral freeplay. When the lever is at the forward edge of the neutral freeplay (such as when pushing the lever forwards from 4th to 5th gear) the tab -or- button should clear the end of he reverse lock-out plunger.
If the reverse lock-out plunger is set too deep - too close to the centerline, then the possibility of the "click" is also increased.
I found the revers lock-out cam on the O.E. shifter to be quite audible too. That can be quieted some by a dollop of heavy grease on the O.E. unit, but that is not an effective solution for the WEVO unit.
If we do ever change the configuration, news will be widespread. But for now, you might consider some of the notes above for adjustment that could eliminate the noise.
Perhaps we could also do a better job with our instructions.
Regards
Hayden
