6MT reverse lockout linkage...

[Kimmo]

Is anyone familiar with this mechanism?

I had a thought about my BOV, which I rarely want to vent to atmos, but when it does it under the right circumstances it's frikken sweet...

I thought maybe I could operate it from a cable to the reverse lockout, which would give it another purpose on the sly, which would be nifty.

Reckon it's feasible?

[Kimmo]

Aaaawwww.

It uses a cable, which is conducive to this idea, but it seems exhaust and crossmember are in the way...

CorgiWerx support bush kits for Subaru Manual Transmission gear shifter linkages, including the Bush at the end of teh reverse gear lock-out cable on Spec-B 6MT transmissions.

Yeah, nice.

...Wonder if I can access the top of the cable?

Is the BOV opened and closed purely mechanically?

Yeah, it's a GFB... I was thinking I could hack it to switch between atmo and plumback with a cable.

What about using a vacuum operated actuator (IIRC L series used them on the carby for A/C idle up) so you could control an vacuum solenoid with a switch?

Hmm, that'd probably work a lot better... I was thinking I'd have to really loosen it up before I could actuate it with a cable.
