bribri609 0 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Hi all, I have been a long time lurker and thought I would share something I made to prevent accidental shifting into Intermediate or Low transmission. I have done this myself a few times and didn't notice until the engine was revving very loudly. I have heard many stories where younger kids didn't realize they were in the low gear and the engine/transmission was destroyed due to driving at high speeds while in low gear. This device fits snuggly in the shifting area and doesn't move around. It is easy to remove should you find the need to go into the lower gears. I have linked the .stl file below for those that have 3d printers and would like to try it out. Feel free to tweak my design as needed. Has anyone else come up with any other interesting 3d printed designs for the Spark? -Brian https://www.dropbox.com/s/v4u0zxcct9j1jo4/car%20shifter%20blocker.stl?dl=0 Edited May 1, 2015 by bribri609 Link to post Share on other sites
Retired old Gearhead 201 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) Xellent idea! I'm pretty sure the simple design can be made without a 3D printer, because, lets face it..not many ppl have one of those. Probably able to make it from a sheet of thick plastic by hand..thanx for the tip! Edited May 2, 2015 by Retired old Gearhead Link to post Share on other sites
