I'm using a Shifnoid setup on my Quarterstick rev pattern VB but I want to go to a clean neutral transbrake VB and keep an automated shifter.
I have a few ideas about modifying my current set up but if I can just buy one or if someone else has modified one it would help a lot.

I made air shifter from B&M pro ratchet just add air cylinder in it. Few years ago move to neutral vb and just add one more micro switch in it so it does`n shift any more at 3 gear. It´s wery simple and work very well.

Thanks for the help guys.
The Precion Products shifter would work but it's an additional $700. Not what I want to do if I don't have to, the valvebody alone is $700.
Bob at Contender Products that is the distributor for Shifnoid also suggested that or the B&M ratchet 4 speed shifter but then again that's another kit and another shifter.
I think I can machine a longer clevis to attach the gate bar to the solenoid so it will pick up the shifter where neutral is now and then lengthen the slot at the rear of the bar so I have enough room to hit the clean neutral. I think that would work if I have enough length at the back of the gate bar to lengthen the slot.

Well after looking at my setup machining the gate bar won't work. I'd have to machine a new one.
If anyone else has any ideas I'd really like to hear them.

Wow, only one person running an air shifter and a clean neutral valvebody?

Why do you need the safe neutral?
My engine clearances are very tight, .027 piston to head for example so decelling the engine from 7200 RPM's isn't attractive to me. I've been putting it in neutral but with the shifnoid shifter I have to lift the gate bar and I've hit 2nd a couple times which is extremely bad at 130 MPH. Not to mention it's not good for the front drum either.
