i run a 904 reverse pattern manual(a great job by blue a good few years ago)
shifts real hard and is great fun
also run a kilduff shifter-even more fun and looks the part(runs off a standard cable)

better view
the column shift has now gone and all the kickdown stuff.
the short lever on left i use for normal street driving
the other two are 1-2nd then 2nd to 3rd(which the short lever does as well 1-2-3)
you can also use all levers to downshift and they auto set themselves to correct position whichever one you use.
confused?

Very cool.
What does the red button on the middle lever do, Dave?

So had a look a a video of the kilduff lightning rod shifters... very cool... Question, looks like you can you use them on a full auto box? Without having to go full reverse or forward manual? Or are there then issues with kick down.... Excuse me if Iām getting mixed up

You can spec it for forward or reverse pattern Dorian, doesn't matter if it's auto or not and kick down is unaffected.

I also have this original '70s lenco shifter which I've thought about modifying to work an automatic one of these days...
