I would think it would fit the 4.0s as they share the same Auto trans as the GTs. I wouldn't be surprized if there was any minor modifications if any needed "somewhere" though.

A ratchet shifter changes gears one gear at a time by pushing or pulling the lever (aka- ratcheting). Pushing forward shifts up a gear and pulling back downshifts a gear... most have a reverse lockout to prevent you from accidentally shifting into reverse. Wouldn't want you to have too much fun now would we!

Here's a couple of vids of ratchet shifters in action. Neither is the TCI unit though, but you get the idea.

Yep. As long as it's in D the trans doesn't know the difference.

its cool but i still think we need more styles and variations. i like the style of our current one but just wish it was steel or chrome, not "fisher price" plastic[&:].

Has anyone gotten info on whether this will fit the V6?

It should, but I'm wondering why they aren't advertising as such?

They could easily double their market share...

I have emailed them several times but haven't gotten a reply yet.
