Floor shifter for 4l80e? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

67chevysupercharged · 09-15-2014, 06:29 PM

Howdy everyone,
I have just about all the parts needed to swap an 05' lq4/4l80e into my 67 step side, and I was just curious as to what floor shifters y'all were using in your swaps? I've been trying to search through all the threads but can't seem to find anything other than modified B&M truck mega shifters being used?

Thanks in advance,
Zak

I'm using a kilduff twisted shifter. Its kind of a strange beast.

I used to use a B&M as mentioned above...also modified for use in these...and its for sale

67chevysupercharged · 09-15-2014, 08:16 PM

What all modification was done to the B&M shifter? I might be interested. I don't mind running a B&M shifter in my truck, I was just curious what else was being used out there to see if I could find something a little different. Oh and I'm in love with your truck btw BR3W CITY!

Thanks,
Zak

This is a bad pic from during construction, but here is an option for you, if you don't mind building up a console to put it on/in.

TCI Outlaw shifter...works great with my 4L80E

67chevysupercharged · 09-16-2014, 03:23 PM

Wasted Income, that looks pretty good! Got any more pics of that set up? How'd you build the console? Anyone else got anything different, just trying to get a few ideas..

Thanks,
Zak

Wasted Income · 09-16-2014, 03:31 PM

I'll try to remember to snag a pic of the finished setup when I leave work today.

Hey zak I replied to your PM, but just to put the mods out in the open; i started with the regular shifter, and ever so slightly increased the groove on 1st gear (where most generic 4spd shifters tend to not line up is on 1st gear on 4l80es). The arm itself was put in a 50ton press and has a 15*ish bend putting the knob in your hand instead of your knee (or seat).

After that, I did something very easy on any shifter. I found some threaded rod and a coupler, and made 4 and 6" extensions to go further when I switched to bucket seats. It can be run normally, or with as big of an extension as you'd like to use...its quick change

I was using a Geenie floor shifter. The knob was visible above the dash. I had a lot of fun with it and the 80E until I went glide.

I bought the shifter out of a Blazer. Got the cable and all so it would shift right. It has a built in safety feature I really like to! It's all Chevy also!

67chevysupercharged · 09-16-2014, 08:46 PM

Thank y'all for all the suggestions and pictures, that's a big reason why I love this site so much. Almost every member I've met has been extremely knowledgeable and helpful, which is awesome for a young guy like me (19) that still has a LOT to learn.

That looks pretty slick, Andy. Nice work.

Thanks man!
I cut the console to fit and then had the local uphoster do the carpet around it. I thought it turned out nice. I like having all the gears for the over drive. The toggle switch was for the torque converter back when it had the 700 R-4 in it. It's non functional now though.

ivorton74 · 09-18-2014, 07:24 PM

I have a b&m hammer shifter in mine

47 Fasttoys · 09-19-2014, 05:48 AM

I've got a knob on mine. Well not yet, but soon.

47 Fasttoys, anymore information on that? I'm curious to see how you're going to make that work..

Lokar trans mount 16". Looks like the old 4 speed it had in it. I had to modify the linkage a bit, otherwise very satisfied.

47 Fasttoys · 09-21-2014, 03:42 AM

Yea, take a look at my build thread at post #153.

Robznob11 · 08-08-2016, 03:50 PM
