If you ask me using a small cable like a throttle or choke cable will work, If it doesn't bend trying too move the lever in its extended postion.
I wanted a bigger cable for durability and better ease of movement.

The pto cable I used was new,lubed well and not long at all and I still need a good amount of tug too move the trans lever pulling on the knob to engage reverse.

The detent ball in the trans for the reverse lever does have a good amount of tension on it. You don't feel it much with the tree shifter or floor shift or even just moving it by hand but you will with a cable.

I was gonna build a pivoting style linkage for more leverage on the push and pull I just felt it wasn't very nessacary.

Pulling on a "small" knob too engage reverse just wouldn't work for me too well but you might not have a problem with it.

I didn't want anything too look out of place in my truck hence the reason I put my big knob below the seat....thinking about it a t handle would work better for me for grip as my hands are trashed.


The motion of takeing your hand off the shifter and reaching down or anywhere else too engage reverse takes some getting used to.
