1st jockey shift ride questions
Ok finally went on the maiden voyage,it is fun and I'm not gunna even try the main roads for a while, def. need to get used to. My biggest question is is the shifting reverse? 1st gear I pull back and 2,3,4,5 push forward? Did I put this back together backwards? Or is this the way jockey shifting is suppose to go?or is it I'm not used to this and shifting the old way is a complete blur?
I totally screwed up leavin my driveway too I killed it of course and then couldn't figure out where neutral is , 15 minutes later I got it in nuetral and started it up and left . Once I get the hang of it this is gunna be kick ****!

That's funny
I have idea on shifting but have fun learning, any close up pics?

Down shift is forward, up shift is backward. I can't think of how you could've put it back together backwards since the arm comes right off the tranny, but that's not right. Just picture the old foot shift. Pushing up on the arm moved the shift linkage back and vice versa. It's a blast once you're used to it, took me a few hundred miles and I'm still not 100% comfortable, but proficient. Good luck, and take it slow, it does get easier!

Glad to hear you're going to practice on the less traveled roads Mike.
Have fun and try not to have an audience, (witnesses) around until you get the hang of it.

Got any pics of your setup? Is it a tank mounted setup? If it is then it's hooked up right, it's would be backward of a tranny connected setup.
