automatic race shifters

[mass]

i know the have the ratchet shifters for muscle type cars.....but are there any for our cars...or maybe can get norcal to produce these for us...i have a book and they arnt expensive at all...range from around 200 ..just curious cuz its about the closest thing to stick..and would go great with a torque converter...

so you mean like a sequential Tranny?

No, I think he is talking about the B&M and Hurst type shifters. My dad has one in his 64 Chevelle, it works really great..............it has the dead lock mechanism where you can not shift into reverse while driving, thus making it SO much easier to bang gears in an automatic. Good thing that you brought this up.......I always wondered if any imports used these type shifters as well.

Last time I e-mailed the guy, he had just aquired the service manuals for the 8G and was going over them - I'll try and contact him to see whats up.
