Got my first PPP a few months back from John Holt race cars on here and have not used it yet but love the look and feel. I got the cheaper one, manual shift all the brackets, cable etc. was a touch over 300$


One day I will have something cool here.

I only use one shifter in all my cars, the B&M Pro Ratchet!
PPP shifters are VERY pricey and it's too easy to miss a gear with the Turbo Action Cheetah. Just my opinion.

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.

Hmmmm.
Unless someone knows for sure, I'll have to call them. But it looks like it may require a special valve body. If not, it would need a pretty complicated and strong spring-loaded mechanism inside to actually shift the trans into neutral when the shifter is pulled all the way back.

Yes, you do need a special valve body that has a clean neutral after high gear.

How do you miss a gear with the T/A Cheetah? I just smack it and it moves one gear. I guess if you had the wrong gate plate for your valve body it could happen but I've ran one in a couple of cars and never had any issues.

I've tried to order PPP shifters in the past as I do like the looks and features but their customer service was.... let's say lacking.

The clean neutral valve body is a transbrake valve body. If you look at the picture you'll notice neutral & reverse are lined up, to get into reverse move the shifter to neutral then push down the silver button on the top of the handle and squeeze the lever at the same time this will trigger the micro switch in the shifter to activate reverse.
