Easy to miss a shift or overshift, sloppy feel from N-1-2. This shifter is dependent on the "rooster" comb on the trans and has no built in detents. I recently swapped in a clean N trans brake, and changed the gate on the shifter. It is 100% better with the new gate..... but "unfortunately" a PPP clean N shifter w/t airshift came up for sale and I picked that up. No doubt, look in every serious race car these days....you'll find a PPP.

After watching my Go Pro in car vids...I slap it? I'd say the best shifter depends on the guy shifting it.

As you can see you had P at the top, R, over the stop to N, and then 1-2.....all three positions inline, you can see where this would cause issues. It was actually doing to 1-2 shift on it's own launching off the brake. The gate I installed is soooo much better. 1'st gear is at the stop, down to 2nd where it moves over ready for 3, and then you have to pull it over for the last N. another point is the TA shifter being a gate shifter you still rely on the N safety in the trans. Most "ratchet" shifters give you the option of having the N safety feature run off a switch in the shifter itself.

I burnt 1 shifter cable using the pro ratchet.. that was the very first cable.. it was a bit short and I didnt cover it.. I was being brave.. since then I use a longer cable and I DONT use the heavy duty one.. they are a lot stiffer and harder to bend to clear things... but I heat wrap it just to be sure... never burnt up another... I'll wrap it just so I can use the shifter I like... this cable has been in there 14 years now

Although I did ditch the 5' cable for a 4' cable and that made life easier in my Duster. I also added a 3' heat sleeve for cheap from Summit for added protection. 8456670-20150311_160630.jpg (103 downloads) Last edited by ProSport; 03/11/15 06:33 PM.

Managing the reverse lockout can be a pain but it's not like I have to reverse often anyway. I have, however, installed the TransGo TF-2 in a lot of transmissions I've built for myself and other people and it works really well if you don't want to shift all the time. Used in conjunction with the high rpm upshift governor it makes for a nice setup on the street!

I have a Cheetah in my race car with the rear entry and it is wonderful to have the rear entry, but the Cheetah is not a street shifter. I burnt 1 shifter cable using the pro ratchet.. that was the very first cable.. it was a bit short and I didnt cover it.. I was being brave.. since then I use a longer cable and I DONT use the heavy duty one.. they are a lot stiffer and harder to bend to clear things... but I heat wrap it just to be sure... never burnt up another... I'll wrap it just so I can use the shifter I like... this cable has been in there 14 years now Been there done that. But my question is with the CSR shield right up against the floor boards, isn't the location where the shifter cable goes through the floor be in the same spot as the CSR shield? Is it possible to use a front exit shifter with the CSR shield? 67 Coronet 500 9.610 @ 139.20 mph 67 Coronet 500 (street car) 14.82 @ 94 mph 69 GTX (clone) - build in progress......

I forget where the cable goes through the firewall but its not far from the gas pedal.. so its outside of the shield.. on the Rampage I have the cable on top of the carpet(for now) but if it runs a year with this routing I will put it under the carpet.. IF it burnt the cable I didnt want to have to lift the carpet.. but I figure by 1 year I should know.. so far so good EDIT I do have a black cover over it now... but it will go under the carpet if its good 8456749-DSC00228.JPG (90 downloads) Last edited by MR_P_BODY; 03/11/15 06:53 PM.
