Is there something in the shifter I can remove to enable me to get into 1st gear easier. I don't understand why you can slam it back into first but they don't list it. Why does the plate say 2 3 D when there is a 1st gear?

 

LOL Do a search....there's a 100 threads on it!

 

depends on what gears you have from the factory

 

Typically cars that came with 2.73 rears (LT1s) didn't allow for manually selection of first gear. In order to select first gear you need to remove the shifter cover and you'll find a small plastic "stop" or "gate" on the passenger side which keeps the shifter from going back to first. A small hacksaw blade makes short work of the "gate" and you'll be able to manually select 1st...
