I asked the same ? a few days ago....apparently there isn't one for a Corvette, nutz. Guess the solution is a new C6 with "paddle shifters", just 1 teeny weeny lil problem about that, well more like @ 59000 of them...sigh. DFO

About 6 months ago Mid America posted a thread asking what we want for our C4s, There were a lot of responses but one of the biggest was a good auto shifter for a C4. This thread is still around but has never gotten an update from Mid America. I guess they just wanted to get our hopes up for nothing.

The only thing you can do is fab up your on brackets and do a custom install. I had this V-Matic 2 in with my Th350, and now we are putting in a PeteK 700R4. So the three speed automatic shifter won't work





So..... We are doing another cutom install with a Quick Silver shifter. Pics will come once I get back from China....

What I would like is a clean, easy, factory looking setup...no clunky hackmeister stuff. Just a nice gated slot would work fine so that only 1 gear up or down can be manually shifted at a time. Of course with a 4L60E would the electronics need mods to perform properly?

Heck even my cheep lil Mazda 3S had a nice gated automatic shifter that really snapped one gear at a time much faster than one could go thru a manual. It really worked gr8 down in the mountain twisties in se KY! Now if only my '94 C4 could do that...the car would be much closer to purrrfect for me....oh sigh.....DFO
