'08 GTX-215 Limited shift won't stay in neutral

[sktn77a]

Hi all:

Have another question about my newly acquired '08 GTX-215 Limited - the F-N-R shift lever goes into forward and reverse just fine but won't stay in neutral (no detent). Is this normal, or should there be a detent to hold it in neutral until I shift into forward or reverse?

Thanks,

Keith

Normal....Mine will stay in with a bit of hunting for the sweet spot....takes practice. Outside of that....only time my hand ain't on the lever...I'm heading forward. If you're gonna be sitting for a while...just turn it off.

Yep yep,, no detent per-say.

As noted, I find a sweet spot and it works just fine. You will get use to it and find it very easy to do once you get use to it.

OK, thanks. Seems a little strange but I guess it is what it is.

Even after finding the sweet spot, it can still just randomly decide to go either way to F or R. Better practice is just to keep your left hand on the lever and feather it back and forth.
