Default Slap shifter
Just wondering if there are any slap shifters made for the auto transmission or any power transmissions that you have to shift.

Not sure what you're asking...but my car has a b&m megashifter, its a ratchet shifter so no matter how hard you hit the thing it only moves up 1 gear at a time and has reverse locked out

not setup right yet, so i havent tried it on the ls1/4l60e combo, but with the old 350/700r4 it was awesome...the transmission wanted to shift itself at 4600, but with the transgo kit and this shifter I could hold it to whatever I wanted (5600) and bump and it would shift

The B&M Pro Ratchet also only changes one gear at a time each time to bump it forward or backward. Jegs and Summit carry them.

I can't remember it clearly, but I think it is rough on the trans as it's not made to be manually shifted. I believe up shifts aren't as bad as down shifts........
