the right shifter

[duckaholic40sb]

im bout to do the v8 conversion in my blazer, i dont think i wanna go to the trouble of beating out my firewall to make mods for the stock shifter, i want to get a cable operated shifter that goes on the floor, i was lookin at the B&M megashifter for trucks that sit higher, all i really want is a good shifter that has performnce action, looks good, and is reasonably phttp://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/smileJap.gifd

the B&M light truck megashifter is about the best one you can get for a conversion. It has full ratchet action and can be mounted almost anywhere. Good deal for the money if you ask me !!!

I like my B&M Prostick. I thought it would sit too low on the floor, but it is actuall in the perfect spot...especially if you have either a bench seat or adjustable buckets. It\'s reasonable p r i c e d too

i use the mega shifter for the truck ..it\'s a full rachet shifter or just put it in drive ...i hit the shifter pretty hard at the track and it goes only one gear at a time ...very good quality and nicly phttp://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/smileJap.gifd

i used the cheapest shifter i could find, it\'s not cable and we just cut a small hole in the floor and bam, no problems with it since. but i am one cheap mofo.

I used the BM Quicksilver and it has a tall base and has full ratchet action. I just don\'t like the ball knob so I put a t-handle on it. Works good though.

i also have the BM prostick. i love it. i am also running 2000 s10 bazer buckets. it fits between the seats mint.

IN MY S10 BLAZER I USE THE PRO RATCHET IT WORKS PERFECT.

I have a B&M prostick and I like it. had to cut out my cup holder in the console. but works great.

I took one from a camaro is was an easy install, had the b&m truck shifter but it was for 3 speed needed 4 speed. 10 bucks for it versus the hundred or so for the b&m still have the b&m brand new nevr used if ya wanna buy it make me an offer.

How is a ratchet shifter different from a regular shifter?

[Mike]

you slap it and it goes to the next gear, slap a regular shifter and it will probaly go all the way into park or all the way down to 1st, depending on which way you slap it.

[justin]

Oh, so I guess its for an automatic then.

[whiner3]

yes.. .the ratchet shifters are sweet....

esepcially if you have a manual valvebody like in my 49 pontiac, drives just like a standard but no clutch http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif
