  Seems pretty simple.

  If you have a transmission still retaining reverse gear you need a lockout.
If the reverse is removed the lockout is not needed.

  There is no requirement in any class for a "full" transmission. All class
rules state "any" transmission.

  Paragraph 3.h.1 requires a positive reverse lockout but I can't find any
other reference to reverse or a requirement for reverse or moving the car
backwards in the rule book. Somebody please point me in the right direction
(not backwards(-:
