I don't mind the stock one. But, I did however take a silver sharpe and make a mark at reverse, neutral, and low beside the shaft on the plastic hump. I can figure out park and hi on my own. It's just that some times when I am in a hurry I can just look down and know exactly where the shifter needs to be. If I ever get time to install the parking brake I am going to put a lockout on it so if I slam the shifter forward the farthest it will go is reverse. I have seen times hill climbing that it comes in handy to get it in reverse QUICKLY.

Of course it could be made so you could flip it up if you really wanted to put it in park.

If I could have gotton mine into reverse quick enough, I wouldn't have did my little roll over on 21. Instead, I wasted my time in trying to shift my weight up high to keep it down --then I had to hurry up and get back in it for the rest of the ride because it didn't work...REVERSE is good. Great idea for a lockout!

To get the factory shifter off---You can take a small screwdriver or other device and flip off the top part of the shifter head,there's a bolt there unscrew it (this may be an allan head,cannot remember) and the shifter slips off..

I forgot to add this to the previous post I made, I cut a piece of red reflective tape in a arrow shape to mark reverse position,it is easy to see and gives you a good reference to where the other gears are located..

Great when like Jerry you need to find it fast to keep from flipping or other situation...
