When will us A4 guys get to have a REAL shifter
#16
I never said manually DOWNSHIFTING wouldn't hurt it. Manually upshifting won't. Manually downshifting can also break the lugs off the overrun part of the input sprag.
As a side not, the 700(4L60) and the 4L60E use the same shift detents, so the same shifter will work with either one.

Personally I'm pulling my console completely along with parking brake and all that stuff and going with just a megashifter...but then my car is going more towards full race

LOL...Yea, but some people feel better when they can control the shifts.
I do manually shift my 700, but to be honest the car runs about the same both ways.
For all those interested, I've seen you mention Dirks (RACINLT1) name a few times. I built his 4L60E and his car goes 11.2's in drive.

yes i have the B&M Pro Stick in my STOCK console,without HACKING it up.
Check the links for pictures. I wanted a different shifter to match the "look/feel" of my car,and since i was going race buckets/rollbar/already had the welds,the stock shifter looked out of place.
It took some fabricating,and a little creative wiring so the pcm would know when it was in park. The wiring isnt that hard,just needs a momentary contact switch for when it is in park,and we used a Haynes manual to get the wiring right.
I will be swapping to a full manual 700r4 trans here very soon,and eventually going to a TH400,and i already have the shifter.

One good reason to shift manually.... autocrossing. I need a way to shift WITHOUT missing a gear (or overshooting a gear). I used a B&M Quicksilver (I believe that's what it was) in my '70 Firebird with my TH400. It was perfect for that. I could bang up or down and never had to worry about going too far with it. Things are happening too quick in an autocross to have to worry about getting in the wrong gear.
But if I'm hearing correctly, the B&M Megashifter will work. Am I Correct???
