This is the last of it. The triangular shaped purple plate is the lock-out gate---it is 1/8" thick, and it is welded to the dark blue transmission bracket.---it does not move. The yellow pin in the absolute bottom of the shift lever is a hard press fit into the hole in the shifter lever, and extends out 1/8" on the side of the shift lever that is closest to teh lockout plate. It fits into the holes and/or slots in the lockout plate. This will only let the shift lever move if it is "tweaked" sideways, which rocks the lever to one side on the pivot ball and causes the yellow pin to disengage from the slot or hole in the lockplate.-----Of course, you have to do a lot of lay-out and trial and error fitting to ensure that the holes and slots in the lock-out plate correspond perfectly with the correct position of the lever going into the side of the transmission when it is in one of its "snapped into gear" positions.
