The question is whether or not it is just like shifting the stock lever or not. I mean you change change the gears on it but the computer won't shift until it's ready.

 

yes bro as charcoal said the tow haul button ?? "sorry for the miss writing the question"
cuz Im not a native speaker sorry again

 

It may be hard to get if you never had a ratchet shifter, but the ability to change gears, specifically to downshift when ever you want is fun, and with a good ratchet shifter there is no worry about missing a gear or downshifting too far.

 

It's just a differnt way to select gears. It works the same as your colum shifter except when you manually select gears such as 1-2-3 you can slam or "slap" to the next gear rather than gently moving the column shifter into the next gear without accidentally skipping a gear. If you put it in Drive mode it will drive same as normal, you put it in 2nd and it will drive same as if you had it in 2nd with a column shifter. It doesn't affect the way the tranny shifts, it affects the way you shift.
Comprende?

 

I don't typically use my tow/haul button, if ever at all.

However I'm thinking of re-mounting it and making it refer to the performance tables set up for manual shifting. Pretty much making every gear shift all the way to 4th at a very low MPH, and disabling TCC.... this way the trans will stay in whatever gear I have the ratchet shifter in and wont apply TCC

 

I think Transgo makes a shift kit like that.

 

But can it go back to normal automatic shifting at the touch of a button?

 

This is true haha! Sounds cool, go for it!

 

Hey what part number on B&M's websight is ur shifter? I was looking for it but couldn't find it. It'll work on a 80e as well I assume?

 

thats definately cool, i wanted to do this on my SSS but i'd have to cut the air conditioning vents under my center console...

Julien look up Dozer over on sss.com he also had a really good write up on how to do this shifter, looks awesome nonetheless. still might do this in the future...
