Shifter questions

[hillbean]

Hey guys you all have been a great help so far on my project. I built the trans crossmember have the engine and trans installed. Im now looking at shifters i would like to do a column shift my question is is it possible to safely change a three on the tree to automatic. If its not i was looking at some universal floor shifters and wanted some opinions im considering the mr gasket one like this

has anyone used these how do they look and feel. I dont want to drop a ton of money but the mr gasket one looks a lil janky and doesnt come with a neutral safety switch. any help you guys provide is much appreciated thanks in advance

You might want to try Lokar to get one specific for the transmission you are using. Probably costs more but might be worth it for better results.

I use a B&m mega shifter, had it for 16 years. I would go b&m or Lokar. Like stated above they're trans specific, different length cables.

I have the b&m lite truck mega shifter, its taller for a truck..
check out the b&m quicksilver too..

I used my 3 on the tree column for my 4L60e without issue....

Did you just use a universal linkage and make it work for the three on the tree to the auto?

Very nice 66LSx

So after alot of thinking and pondering i was at the pick and pull and grabbed a jeep shifter and made this and was looking for some opinions on the look before I finish the install in the truck.

I like it too. Throw a shift boot over it and everybody will ask what it is, where you got it, etc. Cool and unique!

Diggin' the bullet casing button. I like the shifter a lot.
On closer examination, that's an old grenade body as well. Now I like it even more!

Throw a Crown Royal bag at the base.
