Hello. This is my first post here.
I have a question regarding the His n Her gate shifter from 1967.
Does the gated side of the shifter operate with a ratchet-type action with a mechanical stop between 1st and 2nd, like bang, bang?
I watched a YT video with "Dual Gate Shifter" in the title, and the fella does demonstrate the shifter. However, he shows respectfully "bumping" the shifter to 2nd and then into 3rd. He cautions that you don't want to bump it too hard and go from 1st directly into 3rd.
I would never slap a shifter so hard that the shift knob would go through the dash, but a mechanical stop between the positions makes sense that you can use the righthand side without the worry of missing 2nd gear.
I'm looking at the ones from Summit and some on eBay. There's a quite a price difference.
Thank you for your time.
