Thread: Fitting B&M Shifter to the grey boxes of EVIL (aka autotransmission) :D

For the year you should have a TF727 so any aftermarket shifter should work - B&M, Mr Gasket, Hurst etc.Maybe even a push button of an old Val !

Yea don't, ratchet shifter are only handy for conversions, but aren't real user friendly, i'd keep the standard T-bar and maybe modify the shifter gates to suit your liking, and yea i've got a ratchet shifter and they're *****s

ide be using a b&m shifter.

when i do the conversion in the 90 i'll be using a mega shifter,, only the best bling will do

might be some info here for ya..

If you think a B&M mega shifter is the best you must believe everything the Americans tell you.

They won't tell you that their poor quality cables strech and can allow the gearpox to go from drive to park. Try doing that on the highway you will never forget the experience.

Oh and don't look under the nice cover as you will see all the filings from the metal on metal contact of the shifter components.

May be they have improved since the 90's but the still look the same.

My god do they still make those!

I had one of those in my 1966 dodge phoenix..... ahh the memories... fuel at 50c/ltr... no speed cameras

ahhh but back to the shifter...jeez it was horrid... slammed it into 3rd at 70mph and it went all the way into reverse and locked the rear wheels up!

ive installed a pro ratchet and a quick silver in the last 5 years, dont rember anything like that ever happening?? maybe i dont have passion fingers

only prob was melting a cable that was too close to an exhaust

Its possible that they are better engineered than they used to be, i imagine even the Yanks can get something as simple as a shifter sorted in 10-15 years

well i bleive that these days there are lockouts and a hole lot of stuff in them to stop thinng likr that happening (D - P) so it fits within the NHRA and IHRA requirements,

The mega-shifter was the on i was looking at too...

BTW: Yeah the gearbox is the std one whateva it is, so your saying they had TF727's i didnt know they were a torque-flite chrysler box - well there you go, you learn something everyday.
