• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Minimalistic gear extension - Fixed vs Moving Lever

A different way to do it. Surely well made and looks less obtrusive than the big vertical levers. With all of them you loose the ability to do any foot shifting if you choose. Plus, they cost $$$$

My solution to bending way down and reaching way out is the addition of the very common motorcycle shift lever. About $10 on Amazon or wherever. Just pull the rubber off the shift lever, maybe grind the lever down a little bit so this fits right inside where you will slide your rubber back on. Set it at the height you like, tighten down and go for it.

Now you can just do a minor reach down and pull it into reverse. You can use your foot also if you choose. Pushing it back to forward is easy with the foot or hand. Also, easy to find that central "neutral position.

KISS ... I like simple and cheap.
