T56 Reverse question

[Z06vette]

I changed the spring to a lighter one, goes in with minimal effort now. Still enough resistance to avoid engaging reverse unintentionally.

I like that option.

I wired mine per kit instructions.

I agree. Pretty hard to hit reverse unless you're power shifting into 5th

With a close ratio box that could be and issue on a fast road course.

You can do the same thing by adding a pin and wire to the harness.

But this is easy for guys that don't have ECMs

Any further info on this spring? (part # exc.)

I would not install a weak reverse lockout spring, I would wire up the solenoid as it was intended. I also have my reverse solenoid wired to a line lock button on the shift knob.
