Automatic Shifter Options
What are the cool 3-speed automatic shifter options? I have the Hurst pistol grip right now. It looks cool but I don't want to think about squeezing the lever to get it into third gear, and I don't have the auto 1-2. Thoughts? Thanks!

Re: Automatic Shifter Options
Most of our cars use the old B & M Pro Sticks = Nearly unbreakable and
foolproof! Some use Turbo Action shifters. Everything is 40 year old designs. I wish I had a couple more of them! No auto 1/2 in any of our stockers or my Superstockers! Jon Jr. has a CO2 tank in his Superstock =It is legal in it!

Re: Automatic Shifter Options
Other than full air or electric in SS, not really a lot. What pattern do you have forward (push to shift) or reverse (pull to shift)? That third gear release is important. It keeps you from hitting 3rd on your first shift. I have a Hurst Quarter Stick reverse on my C4 and the high gear release was awkward for me, too. I used scrap aluminum to build an angled riser to mount it on. The pull to third is more up than back with the shifter winding up only slightly angled back.

Re: Automatic Shifter Options
I am a big fan of the Turbo Action shifter. I have them in all of my cars. Easy to use and reliable.

Re: Automatic Shifter Options
I haven't had any experience with any other shifters but I like my PPP ( Precision Performance Products) shifter for my C4.

Re: Automatic Shifter Options
Chad, the B&M Pro Ratchet shifters are also good ones. -Al

Re: Automatic Shifter Options
Turbo Action Cheetah shifter without a doubt. Just a no-nonsense, one-hand operated shifter.

Re: Automatic Shifter Options
Had used them for 3 decades when all of a sudden I forgot how and started having all kinds of problem doing the shifts in the right manner(1-3,got stuck in the gate etc.) and after loosing 2 races because of it 7-8 years ago I decided it was time to get that awesome looking PPP stuff and at the same time upgrade the valve body to include the clean neutral option,and I have never looked back since !
