Default Just installed b&m ratchet shifer!

Not for the faint of heart... took many floor board modification and if you don't know what your doing I wouldn't do it. None of the kits offered with the tranny cable brackets work had to be custom made but came out nice and was worth the blood and busted open knuckles and face full or tranny fluid

I've got a B&M mega shifter in mine and I love it.

looking shifter. Guess that will be a mod I won't try since it's not just a plug and play.

I've had a B&M ripper short throw shifter in my car for 14 years, and I still love every shift, even after 100,000 miles.



That ratchet shifter looks nice.

Write up please!! I have had my C5 Auto for a couple months now and HATE the stock shifter. I have had many B&M shifters in the past and would REALLY like one in my Vette.

lol, guys this is like a 7 year old thread and the OP hasn't been online here since 2017. I think you are on your own.
