I'll demonstrate with a little more enthusiasm next summer. I want to do a 3-yr full review update now that I know a lot more about the car... and Thanks!
I bought a Nova that we thought was a Mega Shifter but ends up it’s a crusty Star that stuck permanent neutral haha. Won’t shift into anything. So hopefully get it working again with some PB Blaster and WD-40. I’ve had Mega’s and Quicksilvers but never one of these guys. I think that triangular metal slide you were noticing go upto the line in first etc is crusted stuck. Hopefully can make it live again. 🤘🏼
can you go directly from 3rd on ratchet mode to drive ? and can i go from D straight to ratchet mode 3rd? ratchet from what i can tell the gears are aligned P R N D 2 1 (3 2 1 ) so i like cruising around in D and shift from D to 2 for a passing gear or 2 to 1 for a low speed romp. but if im at a light do i have to shift all the way down to 1, and then into ratchet mode? id kinda like to just bump it straight over to ratchet mode if i want to engage it at speed, sorta like a his and her shifter.
Hmm.. in storage for the winter now. Maybe someone else can chime in. If memory serves, I believe you have to pull up on the lock when switching from D to Ratchet mode, and also lift the lock to put it back in D
Excellent video. Lots of character to it. Loved you going over the function.

That was a good video and a good looking falcon
Great video. Made me laugh at you trying to get up from being on your back, I so identify. Beautiful Falcon. Have a blast tinkering with her.

Nice ride!! Hey I have the B&M 80776 the pull up type, could I replace it with the star shifter?
Hopefully someone smarter than me finds your question ;)

What if you have over drive trans ?
Different shifter for other trans. This is specific for C6 3-speed.
Are you selling this car?
No.. bought last summer. Just getting around to fixing things.
