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

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 !

In 1 car I have the B&M rachet shifter, in the other car is the PPP shifter, the B&M is flawless, I'm not so happy with the PPP, maybe I need to study up on the PPP shifter

I have never used a rachet shifter but they sure sound easy to operate

I'd say 90% of the cars I work on or build use the TurboAction Cheetah shifter ,
It's a simple design and if I'm not mistaken ,the base component has aircraft origins .
I've seen 30 year old Cheetah's that still work flawlessly.
Had one in my own Stocker .

I have been looking at these and it appears they are out of stock. In all fairness I only checked Jegs and Summit. I believe the part number is 70012. Heading to Vegas next month. I might have to focus and squeeze the trigger for 3rd.

PS, The BBB is cool but out of my pay grade.

Chad ,you can buy direct from Turbo Action . Jegs ,Summit and others are not stocking a lot of parts and are drop shipping direct from the manufacturer.
Although the prices might be slightly higher and you'll pay shipping ,at least you can get the part.
I've had to go this route with a lot of parts in the past year.

Sounds like the lever on the tranny is too long. Did they supply a lever with the shifter?
