What is the function of the black colored angled metal with 2 bolts attached in a slot next to the gear shift? For mine, if I leave it there, it is blocking the gear shift from reaching the REVERSE gear. If I remove it, I can reach the REVERSE gear.

That is its purpose. It is a reverse gear protector.. The idea being if you were in thick weeds the gear shift could only get bumped to neutral.. that you must actually pull up on the bar and push the shifter into reverse.. Its a safety thing.. I left mine on.. Going into reverse is a little weird, requiring 2 hands, but its safer that way.

That is a safety feature. Do not remove it. Just lift it up when you want to shift into reverse. Gravity keeps it down to block accidental reversing which could run you over.

the attachment prevents the shifter from being knocked or accidentally shifted to the reverse position. I've though of removing it myself to facilitate shifting to reverse.

It is for operator safety. It keeps the shift lever from being moved into reverse accidently and unexpectedly.

It is a small, black, momentary button that is usually mounted in an accessible, but not obvious location towards the bottom of the driver's side dash. A common location would be on the driver's kick panel cover, or on the side of the center console (if the vehicle has one). Contact your local Car/Audio shop to see if they can provide further direction.

The knob included is for the V8 , they really should offer 2 ways.I contacted Hurst and they shipped out the V6 knob with correct shift pattern. Also your shift knob should "pull" off just like the Hurst you tube video shows

the cable comes out the back of the shifter it will circle around to the transmission, its possible you may need a longer cable

Basically you're correct, it gives you 3 variable torque ranges to work with. This comes handy if you're say driving a bolt into an aluminum based material for instance, the lower settings reduces your torque level so you don't strip your threads or break the bolt heads with the shaft stuck in your work piece. The settings aren't there necessarily to save battery life. Remember the speed switch isn't a mechanical switch where gears are changed to reduce RPM, it's more like a shunted resistor network, Position 1 has a higher resistor in the circuit while position 3 would have the full power coming from the battery.

Slight slant. It's reversable so you can have it slant forward or backward two of the bolts are hard to get in though. Start with those

Since it locks by twisting it I know it has something to do with twisting in a particular direction. I have not used mine in a couple years and I couldn't find my directions for it.

There are none. A plastic spacer goes into the inside of the shifter knob. The gear sgift rod kind of self threads into the plastic insert. They di send several different sizes of inserts. Seems kind if rinky dink but so far mine has held up.

push the sharp end in the slot. then push the sharp end down to the other side and move it up and away from the slot. there is a small bar under there that keeps it locked [look in the open end and you'll see the little bar].........it's kinda hard to explain. it'd be easier to "show and tell"!

Sarah, If you're referring to the downward "U" shaped bar it seems to act to keep the bikes away from the trunk or rear door of the car. I used it to attach an extra strap to anchor the bikes and prevent swaying. Frazer

They attach at the shock and one screw on the side of the fender. You make the choice of whether that fits your particular setup. It is impossible for someone to answer your question outright because there are mnay different quick release back rests out there from many brands. I ended up buying a longer bolt to make it fit through my luggage rack/shock bolt spot. Normally, if I hadn't had that rack there, everything would have been perfect out of the box. Oh, there are no instructions for this rack so make sure you keep a pic of how it goes on from the net. You can get stainless bolts at Ace or any other hardware store.

These are designed to remove the mechanism different manufacturers use to prevent wheel and hubcap theft. It will remove the keyed lug nuts and hub cap screws of quite a few designs but without knowing who made the wheel or the vehicle and what your locking mechanism specifically is I couldn't comment on its ability to remove your specific wheel.

Hi Laura, Sorry for the delay. There is a nut that is at the base of the old gear shift or you should be able to twist off the old one.

The black knob is used to add resistance to the rear wheel. I tried several units this by far the best and is whisper quiet.

The right shifter shifts the rear wheel sprocket. In my case that is 7 gears. The left shifts the crank sprocket. in my case that is 2 gears. My rear brake is connected to the right brake lever and the front brake is connected to the left break lever. The small levers shifts up and flipping the brake lever in towards the center shifts down. I put these on my 14 speed Schwinn and they work very well. I also changed my rear sprocket and change and in it amazing how much better the bike is. I love mine and hope this helps. Happy Riding.

I tossed mine before I realized that it actually had a useful function, which of course was not explained in the goofy manual. The band is a retainer for the power cord. There are tabs on the legs of the underside of the unit which hold the cord when it is wrapped around the legs. The mysterious black band is used to then wrap around the cord to hold it in place for storage.

The shifter I purchased was model TX30-7R for 7-disk free wheels (see photo to left). My shifter has 7 "gears". I imagine Shimano sells a 6 position shifter, too. Was that the model you saw? Mike
