Hi i have a 07 ss impala that i would like to swap to this style shifter but i see that your sifter is only mechanical but mines have the interlock shift solenoid part of the assembly do you you have any advice
Can you do a step by step tutorial for install? Also, do you have links for the correct brackets and wires needed to properly install a B&M shifter on a 4T65E.
@@LS4King Thank you for your response. Do you at least have the brackets that are needed for this build? I looked at both the links under your vid and your LS4King store. I was unable to find them.
So I have two 4T80E transmissions and I was wondering how much it would cost to rebuild one of them or both cuz I'm doing a twin charged fwd Northstar build and I'm trying to take the best elements from the most experienced front wheel drive car guys what do you think would work best
Most people who run a ratchet shifter and need it to run backwards will order what’s called a (reverse valve body) most manufactures offer this item including B&M generally you have to request it to be a reverse pattern.
All B&M Pro Ratchet shifters are forward and reverse pattern compatible by default. No need to call anyone. “Reverse Pattern” valve bodies do not exist for the 4T80E or the 4T65E. Despite the engine being behind you in the Fiero application; It is still a “forward pattern” valve body. You’ll just need a longer cable. If you meant to ask about a rear cable exit model like some of the gated shifters offer; No, the Pro Ratchet is not available with a rear exit.
@@KORNF3D is there any reason you cant come out of the shifter in the front with the cable, loop it somewhere under the dash not to kink the cable, and run it down the door sill to the rear?
@@LS4King really isn't room for that. Plus having to loop a cable around the front past the cage sounds like a mess. Last few years I've been looking into a tci outlaw shifter. They had a rear cable setup.
Ideally you should Run the VIN# of the vehicle to accurately identify what gear ratio and type you have. The secondary hardest option is to pull the final drive out and count the teeth, this will identify what ratio you have, you can also identify if you have a first Generation 80e if it has a external range switch which is a black module box located on the top of transmission housing, 2nd generation is a internal modulated system and does not have a visible module when inspecting the exterior of the transmission.
