I read in an article that b&m now makes a kit to covert stock shifters to a ratchet type. I know they're alot of people that would use this. Lets get a sponsor to confirm this info and get a group purchase together!! anyone with any thoughts please chime in!!

It would be cool to have the stock shifter to be able to ratchet.It would also give automatic guys another option on shifter choice to work with.Options are always good in the performance market.Keep us posted if you hear more info.

Thats the one, I couldn't remember where I saw it. I might try it just to see how it works. It might be a little while but when I buy one I will post it here.

What it does is convert the stock shifter gates to a ratchet style gate. works similar to stock until you pull it down from OD, then it goes to ratchet style. B&M makes it but I don't know if any sponsors carry their products.
