This product will adapt your factory automatic floor shifter that came in your car to work with the transmission you have equipped it with. Available for 3-speed, 4-speed overdrives, or even 6-speed automatics, this kit takes the guesswork out of cable replacement or a transmission upgrade. This kit may also be used when switching from a column shift to a factory-style SS floor shifter (ex. 1983 models).
*Note on 6L80E / 6L90E
This kit does include a new shifter detent (EXCEPT for 6L80E / 6L90E kits). The factory SS shifters were often paired with a TH350 or TH200-4R between 1984-88. This being said, you will retain the stock detent when using this cable kit with a 6-speed transmission, you just won't use all available positions.
This kit does not allow for steering lock or neutral safety column linkages. For 4LE series transmissions, it often is possible to solve this by using the gear position switch mounted around the shift shaft on the driver side of the transmission. In other cases, we do offer specialty levers upon request that you may be able to adapt to your application.
Our products allow our customers a viable solution to retain the factory appearance of their car without sacrificing performance. "In the olden days" many GM vehicles came with either a Powerglide or a 3-speed automatic such as a TH350 or TH400. As time went on, GM released a variety of transmissions that had overdrive capability. Overdrive simply means that the output shaft of the transmission rotates faster then the speed of the input shaft from the engine. The result was better fuel economy, as well as more gentle highway RPMs. Some of the popular transmissions in this category include the TH700-R4, TH200-4R, 4L60, and 4L80E.
The main issue arose, however, when hot-rodders and car enthusiasts began attempting to swap these transmissions into their classics the factory shifter no longer functioned properly. This is where Shiftworks comes in. From conversion kits for factory floor-shifters, to complete new shifter packages, we enable hot-rodders to upgrade their cars transmission, without moving away from a completely factory interior look. With new shifter detents, transmission components, and console indicators designed for 3-speeds, 4-speed overdrives, and even for some applications, 6 & 8-speed automatics, Shiftworks products allow you to make your transmission swap as if your car came that way.
