..... about the B&M Automatic Transmission Shifter. I know you've been up on the bradbarnett site making sure that the V6ers are represented. What's the latest skinney on the development and/or market release? I know a lot of the manual tranny guys are installing short shifters and I'm a bit envious of their choices. I lost the thread. And maybe you can give the Auto folks here a quick lesson on what this ratchet shifter is all about. Thanks for all your help to us on this forum and all the others you visit.

Friday, they are doing a final test install on a rental. If all goes well they will install the first one in a car next week. Should be sweet.

The shifter will allow for auto guys to run through the gears by just bumping the stick up or down. It's similar to triptronic transmissions in bmw's.

Also, It will feature a t handle or ball option. The stick is threaded so you can put on any ball you want. (another plus)

Here's the Spy Pic.

Thank you! Oh, man, I can't wait. Are they still planning to put a line lock button feature on the ball and O/D button on the bevel? Sorry if I'm asking foolish questions.

What's the price tag? Probably another pretty penny to get it professionally installed. [>:]

They are staying with the original plan of the o/d button on the bevel. doesn't seem like it would be a problem...

Wouldn't you need to do some more work internally inside the tranny for it to hold up long term? That will ware the sh!t out it won't it?

I wouldn't think it would be any worse than anyone who "manually" shifts the gears now.
