I have been watcing this post for months, wanted to say heres another automatic that is waiting on the arrival for the new shifter, it sounds great!

 

Count me in

 

Been watching this thread with great interest since it started. Thought I'd chime in and say count me in when its ready.

So am I correct in my understanding that with this shifter I can shift it up or down one gear at a time without worrying about going too far like the stock shifter?

The install of the shifter was supposed to be yesterday on the test car. wonder how it turned out? Dying to see how this looks and works.

 

That is correct!...Update soon

 

Cant wait!

 

Hey Chris,labor day comin up.......will the shifter be ready by then or should I go ahead and get the kegs for the BBQ?huuuuum shifter.....or BBQ?

 

I wonder how things went yesterday? I was hoping we would hear or see something by now. Apparently, you should get the kegs Stanger

 

I have been watching this thread for a month or so now and just wanted to thank sub zero for working so hard to get this product out for us. IMO your original design is the way to go because it is more suitable for the modders and gearheads out there. I don't think we are going to have any problem reaching the o/d button when we need it. I think that once you get used to its location it will become like second nature. I also like the idea of being able to change out handles. I would like to see a way to hide the wire. Not real familiar with the desigh of the handles with built in triggers, I assume they are not made to go down the inside of the shifter rod, so making the rod hollow wouldn't do any good unless you made a **** that would support this. The channel may work though, at least it would give the wire some direction so it doesn't spin around on the rod.

I can't wait to get one of these though, no matter what the finished design is, just don't like the factory shifter at all, even with the o/d button on the handle it sucks a$$.

 

Jackson, I agree. The problem with making the shifter rod hollow is one of strength, as Chris pointed out. Having a channel in front for a line-lock wire would seem to be the best compromise.

Just my 2 cents, your mileage may vary.....

 

Anyone heard any news? I thought they were doing the install this past Monday. Wonder if something went wrong?

 

they were doing the test install on the rental on friday, then if all went well the customer install sometime this week.

 

THE TENSION IS KILLING ME!!!!

 

i'm hoping lips are sealed because they are installing it on kris' car!

 

Not to burst any bubbles, but I haven't gotten the green light just yet. I'm sure they're making sure everything works great before they go and install it on car that gets driven a lot. Patience is a virtue! One that none of us share in this case...haha!

 

Well at least we know your car isnt sitting in a garage with all kinds of parts not working. I kinda had wondered that all week. Keep us updated.

 

This is something I have also been waiting for, I had a B&M ratchet on my 99 GT and loved it. Now my Cobra is a stick but my 05 GT is an Auto.. Add me also! She might be going to SEMA this year, this part would be an awsome add!

Also I am not sure if this has been asked, a lot of pages to go through, but is B&M also building a shift kit for the cars?

 

Who wouldn't want this on their GT? Cant wait

 

Sorry guys for the delay.. I just returned to the office from the Hot August Nights show and I have been gone all week. I will go see what the engineering boys did and see if everything was good or what?....Chris

 

Crack rthe **** whip on em while oyu are down there! I am sure they have been F'n the dog and selling the pups while you were out Seriously though an update would be greatly appreciated by all
