Thanks.

If the tab is missing the shaft will have to be removed. Call Carolina Classics they can help.

I don't use one on my truck. It will start regardless of where the shifter is.

Ranger, I had the same problem on my '67 years ago. I solved it by putting a cheap B&M floor shift unit in. Works fine, only starts in Park and Neutral.
