The first pic is the cables and how they mount to the shifter.

That is a very nice job. It looks like something I might want to do. I do have a question though.

Do you have any problem with the transmission coming out of gear? There doesn't seem to be any detents in the transmission. The original design has the cable attachments going past center and keeping spring tension on the shift lever, Also do you use the neutral position? Is there any chance that you might accidentally bump it into gear while revving the motor in neutral?

Thanks
Dan

I see that now. For some reason I was thinking I was looking at the back half of the cart. Now I see that is the front wheels and not the back. The saying goes " A pic is worth a thousand words". Thank you for clearing that up for me.

Thank you sir!


Shifter gate. Using aluminum, I milled a slot to the thickness of the shifter. The slot is offset....in neutral the shifter will move left & right like many 4 speed cars. In neutral pull the shifter toward the driver and straight up is forward, push the shifter toward the passenger and straight back is reverse. Works very well, however no kids drive this cart! Wish I had a better pic, hope this helps.

Looks simple enough. Thank you for all of your assistance on this.

So you have no trouble with it jumping out of gear?
