How many guys on here use the column shifter that are running a 200-4R? Is it worth using still? Can you use 1st gear? Did you have to modify it?
still hooked up on mine had to remove neutral safety switch from column -will modify later 1 and 2 read right. 3 is on the low side of D and 4 is on the high side of D
I have run mine with the column shifter at times. mechanically it shifted fine but the NSS and the "indicator" were issues.
The only things I was worried about was getting 1st gear and if the backup light switch would still work. The indicator I'm not using either way im planning on getting a Lokar shift indicator and mounting it on the dash.
Ive been using the column shift and loving it:laugh: Took a little getting used to the detent from 1st to 2nd but I feel like I am a pro at it now. Still have the stock NSS hooked up and working fine. The shift indicator reads D for 4th, L2 for 3 L1 for 2 and just below L1 for first
Hows the shifting using the column? I'm still on edge about using it, but i got this really nice consolette off of eBay that i really want to use. But if i do use it there's no room for a floor shifter.
I honestly dont think its too bad once you get used to it. You have to be careful though because its alot easier to miss shifts, I beleive there is a thread in this section about possible modifications that can be done to firm up the detents. And then of course there is always a reverse valve bodyo No:
I've seen these on some cars and think I will use them on mine. Makes the shift indicator exact... http://www.ididitinc.com/accessory_pages/sh.htm avail at Summit: http://www.summitracing.com/search/Brand/ididit/Part-Type/Shift-Indicators/?Ns=Rank|Asc - Bill
Curios to see how that looks when installed on the column, but what would you do with the factory indicator? Block it off?
