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!

B&M Quick Silver. Forward or reverse pattern.
NHRA and IHRA approved. Using mine 20 years. Just changed cable once. It fell on exhaust. My fault. |

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
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
