This is a twist on the same question. There is no reverse lockout, there
never was a reverse lockout. The way it works is the switch is a lockout
for all gears except 3rd and 4th. It is actually a 3-4 enable switch, not a
1,2, R lockout switch. If that switch is hooked up properly, you should
have no problem with reverse. All overdrive MGB transmissions - 3 and 4
synchro - have this $15 contact switch - the same switch that is used as a
reverse lamp switch later MGB's with back-up lights.
