If my shifter (mega shifter) has a reverse lock out will that pass tech or do I need to install the stock lock out that attaches to the trans and steering column?

I've never had a problem with my Mega shifter in tech.I think the rule is,it has to have it.I don't think it matters how.

As long as you can't accidently slam the shifter into reverse without moving some sort of lock/release you'll be fine.

"...must be equiped with a spring loaded positive reverse lockout device to prevent the shifter from accidently being put into reverse gear. Functional neutral safety switch mandatory...."

The B&M Megashifter has an approved reverse lockout, it's the lever you have to pull to get the shifter out of drive and into reverse or park. The lever on the steering shaft is for the neutral safety switch/steering wheel lock, which at one time, B&M had a bracket to utilize, but for some reason discontinued it in the mid-eighties. Now you have to splice into the wiring under the dash to install the neutral safety/backup light switches provided with the shifter.

I wore out my original Megashifter, and I'm on my second one in my race car. Too bad B&M doesn't rebuild shifters anymore, I've kinda got attached to it.

The shifter was in the car when I bought it a couple of years ago. It doesn't have any switches on it. Does anyone know where I can get them so I can connect the neutral safety swicth and back up lights?

You might be able to get them through B&M, but you'll have to call their 800 help line number, because they don't have a e-mail help desk.

I still have mine off my old shifter, and they still work, if you can't get them through B&M.
