The simple pill between 1/2 and 3/4 is to prevent both from being engaged at once (each shift rod pushes the pill into the detent of the other one, preventing it from moving at all).

The complex detent which you just fixed prevents 3/4 and 5/R from being engaged at once. The pill-rod-peanut actually acts as one long pill, you cannot push the 5/R shift rod around if 3/4 is engaged. If you can, then you have something still wrong with that detent.


You can engage 1/2 and 5/R at once, they never made a lockout for that.
