Yep its like making it an AODE that the newer fords have, you have control of all 3 shifts..1 stays 1st D becomes 2nd gear...OD becomes 3rd...and you have a switch...to put it in OD in and out...when you go to the track...just shut the switch off so it wont go into OD the shop i use is going to be putting one in for me soon..probbaly after i get my taxes back...hehe....
That shifter is a little tricky to get used to...it's sort of like the old school "slap stick" in that the shifter kinda says in one place and you bump it to shift gears. It took a lot of practice before i could get good times at the track, but you get used to it. When i had a C4 in my car i had an old B+M ratchet shifter, which was pretty cool too but may not work with the console.
Yeah let me know how that shifter is i want that one too.......IE how hard it is to install stuff like that...On that Lentech valve body that is everyting you need it will make the car shift HARD....from what im told...I was told it would bark all 3 gears...im sure thats will a car that has some mods...tho....

when i get it i will take lots of pictures and will let you know all about the install. I took my friends 89 gt out last night and all i know that's done to the car is a valve body (unsure of brand) and a mild cam. I did the 1-2-1 shuffle and in second at about 45mph his tires broke loose and we got sideways.. it was pretty awesome
what's the difference between the rachet and the hammer?
Imagine that with a hard powershift into 3rd going a good clip faster...
Ok ok Ill stop, I have seen some stock looking installs on some fast cars (autos) and to me they look the best!
even though it's auto i start off in first and shifting at 5k
ah, didn't realize you were an auto. With that being said your times and mph aren't bad. Mine before the 5 speed swap went 14.7@93.x through the aode and after 5 speed swap and no other changes it went 13.9@100.5 on same tires.
^^^ya dude if you switch to manual you'll be like holy s hit that aod blow

I dont think so...I mean a stock AOD yeah maybe but a worked AOD againt a T-5 driver for driver i think the auto wins i dont care how good people say they are you can not shift as good as a AUTOMATIC.....Why do you think all race cars have auto WELL MOST OF THEM...Most racers use powerglides ...so i will stick to my auto anyday...You can be very consistant with an auto vs a stick IMO....

People run autos to be consistant, not necessarily faster. In some race classes you even take a weight penalty if you run a 5 speed. I may not be as consistant as an automatic but i'll put my best shifting up against an AOD any day

its common sense that anyone that knows things about cars knows that if you wanna go real fast its best to go with an auto and all that etc,I know that and wasnt insulting auto's. I'm saying for a street car for a young guy you'd be krazy if you like an auto over manual. The fun level of a manual to an auto is no comparison.
