I used the forward position (where the red rag is stuffed into the top of the transmission). I don't think my model had three options.



I am currently playing around with shifter options. I had an old school ridiculously long one (an original 4 speed shifter stretched out some more) and as cool as it looked, the shifts took too long (very long throw). I have a 12" shifter on there now but it is too short and doesn't feel natural to grab. I think a 14" might be right.
