Hey guys, I have a newly rebuilt 727 automatic transmission with a shift kit installed in it with a stock column shifter. I was hoping to convert it to a floor shifter with a Hurst Quarter Stick Shifter.

I had two questions about this:

1) I have only seen guys run this kind of shifter on a full manual valve body transmission. Can I run a shifter like this (See below for links to shifters) on my "stock" 727 transmission?

2) I see two different types of shifters. One is a "Foward Pattern" and the other is a "Reverse Pattern". Do I have the option of running a "Reverse Pattern" or a "Foward Pattern"? What is the difference, and could I run either on them?

Here are the shifters I am considering:

Foward - https://www.summitracing.com/parts/huu-3160009/overview/

Reverse - https://www.summitracing.com/parts/huu-3160014/overview/

Also, this is for my 1972 Plymouth Duster with a 440 big block.

Thanks!
 
you can run the forward pattern shifter.
Full manual valve bodies don't have the automatic shifting feature. you have to manual shift into each gear. They make reverse pattern manual valve bodies that would make drive first gear and 1st 3rd gear. you dont have that from the sounds of it.

with the forward pattern hurst shifter you can leave it in 3rd (drive) or bang threw the gears.
 
I run a Forward Pattern Hurst Quarter stick on a shift kitted 904 no problem. To use a reverse pattern shifter you need a reverse pattern valve body. Quarter stick is a great shifter in my opinion!
