No biggie, but something easier.

The only slight downside on the 2-3 is you have to ' over and up' (against the detent spring) no big deal it terms of time ti shift...but it's worth it for peace of mind hitting the ( harder and more critical to execute) 1-2 as hard as you want. As a lot of us know you can possibly 'shift past 3 and hit the '1-3' if you hit it just slightly askew with the scs rvb gate. The ppp and similar shifters look cool, its almost like the scs/winters style gating layed over on it's side. I like the double neutral of the PPP, thats one of the disadvantages of a conventional RVB, you cant go from high to N without downshifting through the gates.

I was merely saying that if a little mods or close tolerances to the headers are the main decision to whether or not you purchase a PPP......then it should be a no-brainer!! We are a dealer for them, and we always have really good luck getting them in a timely manner, so if anyone needs some help we are here.

Anyone tried this? I want rear enty anyhow but prefer the price of KWIK II https://www.facebook.com/UncleHarrysMusclecargarage

You can get the kwik 2 in the push to upshift configuration, but they do not offer that shifter model in the rear trans entry configuration. If you want to have the cable enter the rear of the trans, it HAS to be either a PS1 or KS1

Isn't the travel distance P to R to N etc. at the lever the same whether front or rear entry? I just don't get it logically (;-)) Last edited by 1964Polara; 07/20/17 01:09 PM. https://www.facebook.com/UncleHarrysMusclecargarage

The way it was explained to me, the KS2 was originally designed to be a direct replacement for a B&M shifter. Same cable, trans bracket, etc. Then they decided to upgrade their product line and came out with the KS1, which has the ability to go rear trans entry. That's the best way I can explain it. Basically, the KS1 is a better shifter, thus more money
