This is the second one I've used in a street and strip car, I like it better than any other brand or type I've used  That is why I bought the third one, it will go in a tube chassis car, If I get better hope and change in the near future   The shifter and Morse cable(1/4 inch I think) where originally designed to be used in heavy comercial trucks like cab over garbage trucks that would be used hundreds oftimes a day, day in and day out The T/A are the same shifter that they changed to be front exit and conventional cable to the trans, not rear exit with the sidewinder shifter like the Fairbanks and Winters are  I think Winters made the shifters for Fairbanks originally and then started selling them direct later, not real sure on that though Winters still makes the quick change rear ends for a lot of the dirt roundy rounder racers use

I just recently bought a PPP the lower line, manual shift, no buttons etc with cable, all brackets etc was a little over 300$. I got it from Holt race cars on here, great to deal with.
One day I will have something cool here.

Does anyone know of a reverse manual valve body shifter w/reverse lock-out that can be shifted from high gear into neutral?
I've been doing it with a Hurst 1/4 stick, but it's about time I change to something better. I just like to go into neutral past the finish line.
maybe i'm lost here but how can you do that without going down through 2nd and 1st? i think i've seen VBs that have a neutral after 3rd and would guess in this case a 4 speed shifter would work. you could pull it from 3rd into neutral

After 30+ years, I got my fingers coordinated so I can manipulate the lever fast enough to go from 3rd to neutral. But about once a year, I hang it momentarily in 2nd. But between that and going from 1-3 (twice this past weekend), Old habits die hard, but I figure it's about time I get something else that's completely idiot-proof...... plus I'm getting older! It cost me an important race this past weekend.
I'll probably end up with a ratchet shifter and just slow down in=gear. I don't want to go through the trouble of a different valve body.
