Aftermarket Floor shifter Suggestions

[CRUZE 418]

I have to be the stupidest damn member here. I just went up there and tried to follow Joey's instructions, the screens and instructions do not look the same. Hats off to all of you people that can negotiate all of the obstacles and be successful at the task. I would rather be back in my old semi on a cross country in the Midwest in an ice storm or out west in the Sierra's in a windblown snow storm. Really frustrating.

B&M rachet, yes, reverse lockout, reverse valve body 727.

Well done - a good-looking clean installation for sure!

Anybody that can mount that B&M or any forward exit cable up around the front of the trans and avoid the headers and get the angle right to come in around the 727/904 bell, hook up the shift lever, etc, etc is 1000% better of a wrench than me!! I've got the simple Cheetah shifter as coming in from the back is SO much simpler!

If someone has never had an aftermarket automatic shifter I have to ask if you ever had a factory Slap Stick shifter. If you like the Slap Stick you will like the ratchet shifters. I have a Hurst Pistol Grip Quarter Stick on the shelf but all I have ever had is ratcheting shifters. The Hurst is solidly built and looks amazing but I simply cannot warm up to the gated mechanism. Thats just me.

#52, I was not able to get the cable up over the bell to the cable holder on the driver's side of the trans with the 5' cable, or go to a 6' foot around the front of the bellhousing. Embarrassing to say I went to 8' around the front of the oil pan and back. Not sure if it will live, have DEI heat shield around the cable by headers (Hemi) with safety wire for hold back.
Will start another thread about this.
