Default Ratchet Shifter

I have not been able to find a ratchet shifter to go with the 99-04 AOD 4R70W tranny. Does any know where I can find one, or I there any way I can make positive shifts with that transmission?

If no one knows about ratchet shifters. can someone explain the capabilities of a manual valve body?

Contact your local engineering college and collaborate with them on a solenoid activated system. IE, push a button for park, reverse, neutral, and a couple different drives (cruisin', racin', etc.). Tie it in to the TPS and tach, and you can dial in exactly where you want it to shift, but with a MUCH quicker RT than you could ever hope for.

Might be pricey, but what's a couple hundred between friends....[sm=alcoholic.gif]

B&M makes shifters for automatics in all kinds of vehicles, my buddy has one in his nova and it works GREAT

The B&M will work fine, you just have to make an OD switch for the 01-04 models, thats the only difference
