B&M Hammer Shifter for 4.6 Autos!?

It says 94-00 AODEs. I thought in 99 and newer they used the 4r70w?

So basicly, will it fit an 04 automatic? I think this is THE nicest shifter out there and I'd love it. Anyone have experience with it? Does it require cutting up your console?

The 4r70w is an AODE transmission and yes, it should work. That thing is gorgeous.

I want one

 

[jas142]

Thanks Knight

Anyone have one? How does it work in comparison to stock shifter? Can you now select gears manually? Can you also just put it in drive? Any cutting neccassary? Thanks

 

[Dark Knight GT]

There is someone on here who has one but I forgot his username. He said he had one in a HUGE thread about these "auto shifters". Might want to do a search. I seen some interesting setups in that thread.

I belieive Jim Fitzgerald has it. Is it streetable? Is it safe to always be shifting your car automatic manually?

 

[Islander03GT]

I heard that it wont work on the newer than 2000 cars. Someone on here said they called B&M and asked, and were quickly told "no" and hung up on.

Upshifts are fine. Downshifts from a roll can be BAD!

Jim Fitzgerald, how do you like your shifter ?

 

[Dark Knight GT]

Its amazing. Jim Fitzgerald can run 10's in the 1/4 mile and takes 10 years to answer a post lol. Seriously though, I know where he is. He's off to the dyno this weekend. At least thats what I was told.

 

[jas142]

I just hope it can fit the stock console without cutting... and I need to make sure its suitable to use on the street as a daily driver and won't shorten my tranny life

Hey guys, I just happened across this thread. I don't spend a lot of time on StangNet, so you should probably PM me if you have a question. I have a B&M Hammer shifter on my 2000 Mustang GT and I love it. I didn't install it myself, but it fits nicely without any cutting of the console and looks stock. I have a fully manual PA valve body, so I do all my own shifting. The B&M Hammer shifter is a ratchet shifter so it insures you don't accidently shift from 1st to 3rd while racing. I highly recommend it for anyone who needs to manually shift their tranny.

Thanks. I spend most of my time on Modular DePot now. I still check in on StangNet once or twice a day, usually.

Jim, do you have an AIM screen name I can contact you at?

 

[BadMoFo]

when I had my 00gt I had one on there and loved it. just like a manual without the clutch. looked good and performed great. I would get one again if I ever went back to an auto, but dont think that will happen in the cobra.

i have had my hammer shifter in my 99 gt for about 2 months now and i love it. installation toook a few hours but went smooth. i love every aspect of the shifter, and it looks awesome too!

 

[triggz]

ive got a hammer.. i like it alot, i only paid $60 for it from a friend. i dont think i could see spending $200 on it though or however much it is new though.

its cool, but its just a toy. it doesnt make your car any faster and does not change anything about the transmission. its only useful if you have a manual valve body or you just cant stop manually shifting like me

all it does is change HOW you go from P R N D 2 1... instead of having an up-down sweep to go through the gears, you yank it either up or down and each yank changes to the next gear in that direction, then the shifter returns to the middle position via spring.

but the cool part is instead of the weak plastic 'TIK!' sound when you change gears, you get a cool metallic kuh*****! sound.

 

[jas142]

I'm gonna call B & M tommorow, I hope it works in the 04 because I'm really excited now. It sounds great. Does ANYONE have it in their 01 or newer gt?

 

[dew22]

I called them about a year ago and was told that it wouldn't fit my 2003 anyone have pics of one on a 99+



THANKS
