    Reverse lock

    On my reverse lock, there is a long link. Looks like a 8-9 inch thin coat hanger wire. With a nut on the end. Well its just dangling. Not hooked up to anything. Just thru the reverse lock. Can you tell me where it hooks up to. Should this lock lock when you put the engine down? Mine does not.
