1996 Auto shifter modification
Has anyone removed the Stock Auto shifter in a 96 and removed the push button linkage from it so you can shift without pushing that silly button down ? Also this would make it easier for a new shift **** install ? Can it be done ?
Thanks, Tom

Really.... you can upshift w/o pushing it if you want, so what's the point? Yes, it's do-able though, to answer your question.

You should be able to do the job by simply removing the return spring at the base of the shifter mechanism.
However, I must agree with Brian as to the danger involved with such a setup.

Electronic pressure boost isn't going to move more fluid. It does stress the seals more. The Trans-Go moves more fluid (increasing trans life)and speeds up down shifts too. If you haven't driven a 4L60e with a looser TC and a trans-go, you're missing out.
