Yeah, but those were my tires on the car!

You could add a stop at the end of the 3rd gear to keep it from going into neutral.
(at least not as easy)

Chris, I need one more plate to make one. Can you either send me the plate or your spare column?
Do you know how much force those tabs see? Maybe they could be replaced with a dowl pin in the correct location?

A dowel could work; I'm not even sure if the stops are terribley important. One is actually a guide and not a stop.

If Chris will send me his column I can get a better idea of how we could CNC one with dowels for example and make a more sophisticated piece with a third stop.

I'll pull the spare one apart this weekend. If I have trouble (which I'm sure I will) I'll call you.
