guaging interest in an auto shifter
#226
I've only seen the CAD rendering that Chris posted here, and I already love it!
Like I said earlier in the thread, I had a B&M shifter years ago and it was terrific! Can't wait to install this one!

ok..We are renting a V6 model tomorrow to test fit up the trans pans for the auto's and a portion of the auto shifter.We have the baseplate,bezel and upper stick, but still missing the lower stick portion of the unit to do a "full complete" install, but atleast this will get us somewhere on making sure the pieces we have fit or make any changes necessary...I will update once I know more..

ok..update sort of. The trans pan mold seems to fit so that will be a go.Now onto the shifter: The bezel piece fits nicely and right now it is sort of a "bland" color grey/silver color which we all felt should be brightened up a bit. I suggested we have it polished up a bit and clear anodized to match the steering wheel which I think would look cool and nicely match both the standard black or grey interiors and those with the IUP.The color that came in is just kinda boring IMO, but thats an easy change.So, the unit gate detents all lined up correctly as we had hoped and the stick looks great!..Since I want to please as many as possible we will probably do this: The shifter will come with a ****: most likely a B&M logo **** either in black or possibly a white que ball type **** for the masses..But, we will then offer 2 additional ***** that you can purchase to work with the shifter...A T-handle type with a button and a ball with a button for you 12volt line lock, nitrous etc. guys. I think this is the best solution for everyone..Oh, and as of now the O/D button is located on the bezel as well which also has a nice lighted indicator panel with a couple of polished "hex" type hold down screws on top....Hope this keeps the appetite "wet"....=)
