column shift for 700R4
I have had a floor shifter for some time, but would like to go back to a column shift.
Can you make a column shifter work with all 4 gears of a 700R4? Also, can you get a new indicator that shows 4 positions and looks factory? |

Re: column shift for 700R4
Yes & yes.
I used a Lokar shift linkage for mine, but I think you can modify stock linkage to work. I got my indicator from the Truck & Car Shop.

Re: column shift for 700R4
I took my GM column shift and linkage and made it workwith a 700R4 without a lot of work. Let the tranny detents do your work for you and install the plastic OD shift indicator and all is well. Be sure to align the shift points with the different detents.

Re: column shift for 700R4
Ok, sounds good. Good to know that it's easily posible.
I took the column shifter off about 5 years ago and the parts are long gone, but I got another column I can use. |
