ratchet shifters

[Juiced87Notch]

who's got them in their fox and how do you like em? Any brand you guys prefer or have heard good/bad stuff on? and last but not least, how do they fit with the center console

 

[cubicgator]

the pro ratchet/ b and m i beleive. you can trim out ash tray area and look bitchin. i like them because they have a short handle and stay in the straight up position on every shift. later wally

b&m pro ratchet is the ****, I had one in the cobra before I went to the 'glide and it's definately the way to go for a 3 speed on the street or at the track.

I put one in the ashtray for a customer a while back- fits pretty cool It takes a lot of sizing up and cutting but in the end it does look bitchin! The only issue is on your car Paul relocated the climate control so that would need to find a new home. Maybe back home? Anyway +1 vote for puttin it in the ashtray

Go in the 5.0 section here there was aguy that just did one in a fox. It will be a good few pages back so you'll have to look for it. peace

I like the B&M Hammer myself. And they even make one that fits nicely in the fox console.

 

[time only]

Used to have a B&M Hammer shifter on my Blue Mustang. Fits like a glove and no cutting of anything. Works like a charm too.
Here is a picture of it on the car,sorry for the clutter....lol

Jordan I was going to go with the B&M Hammer before we swapped, just make sure you get like a Lentec or PA valve body with the o/d delete, or your going to have to shift a lot going from first into second and then lift the handle to go back into first to hold out second.......damn I think I just confused myself.

 

[SMOKEDYA]

So you guy's did trade?! Wise choice on both parts! peace

hehe yes... the old 1-2-1 shuffle I'll be getting a valve body as soon as I can hehe.

Aye aye aye
that 1-2-1 shift to hold 2nd is BBBBAAAAADDDD on the trans!

I figured... I'll have to give chung a call on a valve body here in the near future.

Damn Kin, that pic gives a good insight on what kind of ride you took in that accident.

Ya actually we did and it was an awesome trade in that the '98 has so much more room for me to get my wheelchair in and out and it's so much fun to drive. I think I can count on two fingers how many times I did the 1-2-1 shift as I heard it was bad on the trans and would rather buy a cheap v/b then have to re-build the trans.

I could not think of a better person to trade with then Jordan as it's awesome to see such a well built car to such an enthusiest.
