RE: push buttos

[ledman_70@xxxxxxxxxxx]

The dual gate in the GTO's and 442's had small detents in the shifter 
itself which acted as a ratchet shifter when used in the "his" mode so 
you couldn't overshift. You had to push the shifter to the right to 
actually use the detents. I had a 67 GTO before I saw the light and 
that's how the shifter worked.
