Question for the people who are running late model manual transmissions with reverse lockout solenoids - Are you using them or is the mechanical gate spring enough?
The T56 Magnum package I bought for my swap came with a reverse lockout control module. Shifting the transmission on the floor, it seems like it would be really tough to hit Reverse going from 6 to 5. I try to keep the truck as minimalistic as possible, but if an unwanted shift to Reverse is a common problem with the T56 or TKO600 then I may wire up the module.
What is your experience?

The solenoid is normally closed to block the gate out (I'm sure you already figured this out). You can force it with some effort, or have it on a push button to supply 12V+ to the solenoid to allow easy reverse engagement. Or one of these. Pricey for what it does, however.
