will the hurst lighning rod shifter . i think thats what their called(its that 3 handled one)work on a reverse pattern or are they specific like other shifters.i have a chance to pick one up in good shape for cheap.

If should work no problem. If I remeber right its an open click on the long stick from low or drive w/standard patttern to neutral. The other 2 you would just press down on the button and pull them back. Have always liked the look but never had one in a car. See ya, Ken

I have a set, and they will work with an RPVB. That shifter is the best thing in the world for keeping people from stealing your car.
