T56 Reverse Lock out

[neki67]

you can overpower the spring in the solenoid to get it into reverse. So it is not something you HAVE to have, you can muscle it into R without having it disengage. It isn't that much of a force either.

That's correct. It's just the spring in the solenoid you need to overcome. It doesn't harm anything by doing it that way.

To me it's the perfect security measure against putting it in reverse when you don't want it there.
