Thanks for the info I've just seen on the B&M website that the megashifter will fit the 4 speed auto box .
Is there a difference between the 700r and 700r4 transmissions do you know ???

What he said. It's the same thing, people just call it different things. Hopefully someone on the site will have used a B&M shifter and can help you further. Best of luck!
