i forgot to mention the reason that im looking for a new shifter is that as we speak my transmission is being rebuild with a 2500 stall performance gears and a shift kit

Not sure what you're asking. Do you want to be shift it manually? To do this, you need a different valve body. Lentech sells valve bodies for stock AODs that allows you to shift manaully or automatically with OD delete switch. http://www.lentechautomatics.com/aodproducts.htm

I recommend the B&M Hammer ratchet shifter. Check out the thread below:

I put pics of what mine looked like in there. Works great and you never have to worry about skipping over a gear when using it.

yeah i want to shift manually and i tried clicking on that link and it said the page cannot be found...
would you happen to know how much the setup would cost me with the new valve body and a new shifter?

he can do it manually without a manual valve body...or at least sort of. If he shifts too early it wont actualyl change gears. But if he wants to wait a bit longer to shift, he can still do it without changing to a manual valve body.

tha B&M hammer is about $200 give or take. And you can install it yourself fairly easily. As far as the manual valve body it isn't 100% necessary depending on what you want to do. If you just want to hold the gears longer and wait a bit longer to shift, I wouldn't bother with it yet unless you wanted it. Just install a nice shift kit in the AOD tranny and keep the valve body you have.

If I go WOT, I can shift from 1 to 2 to 3 with no problems. It will even chirp the tires between 1 - 2 and sometimes from 2 to 3 depending on the conditions.

Why not just convert over to a T5?

You can shift your gears manualy with one of those i think

LoL, if you're gonna go as far as tossin in a manual valve body, shifter, etc... might as well just swap over and get some HP back
