Default Dup of new thread in FI section.. Rachet shifter?

I've searched far and wide, high and low and have found very little about this topic on the C5. I'm aware of the England Green thread where he did his back in 2006 but that was 10 yrs ago. Google has proven futile. Forum searches have come up empty. Has anyone ever come out with a rachet shifter for the 4L60E on our C5s? Something that looks decent and you don't have to cut up your car to make it work? Seems like as many C5s that were made, it would have been a big seller as well. Can't believe the shifter companies were so shifty on this... This has been posted in the Forced Induction forum as well. Please enlighten me if I've missed something.

I don't know if this answers your question but I have a B&M Megashifter in my C5. My trans is an RPM Stage V, but it's still a 4L60E.

That looks absolutely great. Did you do the install or have it done? How much of a pain was it to get it working properly?

It was installed by MTI Racing in Marietta, GA. It works flawlessly and makes the car a ton of fun.

Very much appreciate that info. I called and spoke with someone named John at MTI and he didn't remember anyone installing a B&M in a C5 but he admitted he hadn't been there that long. He was going to ask around. Do you recall the tech's name that installed it? Just had a few questions. Very much appreciate you going to bat for me on this. Do you have just a few more pics? The install looks like it was done very professionally. I'd love to have one of those. Thanks!!

I will look at the paperwork when I get home and see if there is a Techs name on it. It's been a while. This is the only other picture I have on my phone. Let me know if you want to see anything else, I know the quality of this one isn't the best.

Also, I have since painted the shift indicator trim black because it kept glaring in my eyes when I had the roof out. LOL

Ok, so after looking at my receipts, the shifter was installed in Jan 2014. No specific tech on the paperwork, but maybe that will help? If you need anything else just let me know.
