Was just wondering what aftermarket shifter's everyone uses in there boggers?? I had a B and M Mega sfifter and hated it!!! It was great for banging thru the gears going forward, but a pain in the butt to find reverse if in a hurry at all. I am using the stock column shifter now but with the body lift it does'nt like to go all the way in park, kind of a saftey issue. So mite be looking into another floor shifter and just wondered what works for everyone.  86 S-10 Blazer, 700r4 trans, stock frame w bout 4 inch body lift ==wgm

i like b&m quicksliver. but i take apart cut it so i can pick up on leaver in natural then you can shift between r&1st

you should be able to adjust the linkage? but, a shifter that gets overlooked, and i actually havent seen in a while, is the old hurst floor shifter. its not a ratchet shifter, its just a conversion from column to floor shift, and it uses a rod instead of a cable. i have one in my fig 8 car, and it has a detent only for park so you can go from 1st to reverse real fast. or get a junkyard camaro or monte floor shifter if you want a cable type without a reverse problem. i also have a quicksilver, those are nice

 I.run the b&m shifter in mine, yes its not a fast reverse friendly.shifter but will save the tranny from getting messed up from grinding gears in my opinion... getting stuck is alot better than blowing a tranny... cheaper too.

B&M star shifter, and i love it, no more missed gears or bouncing outa gears cuz of the column shifter

 B&M Pro Ratchet, in the truck & a Turbo Action Cheetah in my car, both are very good shifters.
