This version of my shifter plate design eliminates low gear. As crazy as this sounds, this plate was initially designed for race drivers that ONLY go fast, with input from forum member Slowpoke who is building a short course race car for the 2021 season. This plate design prevents an accidental shift into low gear and reduces the neutral notch depth to prevent getting hung up there during a hasty shift. That was the first design intent.
Then word spread to a company that rents Talons. The owner was immediately interested in the delete plate as a preventative measure for transmission damage by customers improperly shifting into low gear. That got my wheels turning so I began emailing information and pics of the delete plate to talon rental companies in the US . And come to find out, this is actually a needed solution for several rental companies that I've contacted! I would not have thought so myself but apparently novice renters can't get the hang of shifting into low on the talons.
So here we go, newly listed on my website for the general population and for rental owners is my new
DT-RR Low Delete Shifter Plate (shown in raw aluminum pre-production finish)
Specifically designed for those who ONLY go fast and unintentionally found useful for those who don't know gear grind is a bad thing!
The website link HERE for all the info and specifics. If you own or know someone that owns a rental company and would be interested in this shifter plate, please share this thread with them. This plate could save them a large repair cost.
I've already drummed up enough pre-order sales to make a production order of plates that will be delivered the week of 11/2/20. All pre-order requests have been for black so I'm only making black plates this run. Half of the order is already sold as of today!!!
Cost will be $39.95 coated and includes shipping within the US.

Thanks,
