UPC 7 in the assembly manual shows the back drive linkage to prevent starting the car without being in Reverse. I am not sure that is what you are asking. The shifter has a click detent for reverse but no "Reverse Lockout".

-Mark.

rev lockout is what some call the rods and levers that lock the steering wheel when shifter is in rev

also turns on rev lights

there is a rod from the rev lever on the trans, to a crank, then 2nd rod to steering

some Camaro venders show them in their catologs

The backdrive system was used on ALL 1969 Camaro 3-speed and 4-speed transmissions, so the shifter had to be in reverse in order to remove the ignition key; it's explained in the owner's manual.
