Larry,

I have not started the fabrication yet, but plan to use a solenoid to pull a pin past the gate lever on the shifter tower (Toyota). I will employ a simple momentary push button switch somewhere on the shift lever. I think I will make provision for manual operation should the solenoid fail.

Race cars use a crude flip up lever that prevents the shift lever from moving to the reverse gate. I suppose it doesn't have to be crude and can envision one on your setup that may look quite acceptable.
