Steeda Tri-Ax Street Shifter issue

[DS550]

I started installing the Steeda Tri-Ax Street Shifter this weekend, but have hit a road block. The first road block/challenge, other than working around the driveshaft :headbonk: was getting the lock-out collar over the o-rings, but Rod at Steeda (Pompano) offered some great suggestions and I was successful in getting to the next step.

Long story short...I can not seem to get into reverse. First I thought the shift knob was too tight, but the lock-out collar will release without help. The spring will stay compressed. Tonight, after work, I will attempt to move forward a bit (garage parked) in first gear to see if it do its things and then allow reverse to be engaged. Just for the record, I would have attempted late last night or early this morning but I know I would have pissed off the neighbors

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks....I left a message for him. He was out to lunch. Steeda has always been great with their customer service and Rod's insight/info has always been spot on

Unfortunately, Steeda employs human beings who have to eat lunch. I don't know why they haven't gone to iRobots like my bank has. At least that's who answers the phone when I call them. ;)

Thank you Mike @ Steeda. The dielectric grease worked perfectly. The lockout collar moved more freely as designed. I should be able to take it out for a test drive this weekend. Also, I was able to engage reverse after engaging first

Take the trip to Pony Wars this weekend in Valdosta, we'll do some serious testing
