Zguy91 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Has anybody used the stock Z shifter while using a th350 automatic transmission? I have a B&M shifter in the car right now and absolutely despise it. I tried to hook up the stock Z shifter but the cable keeps binding up. If anyone knows how to get this to work please fill me in. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhm Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 When I bought my car, it had a stock shifter w/ TH350. Whoever had installed it used a custom linkage (hard linkage, not cable). It worked ok, but I didn't like the stock shifter so I installed a B&M. Personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zguy91 Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 How does your B&M fit? the person who installed mine had to notch the console so that it would fit. It just looks absolutely terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stwrangler Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I welded a 2 1/2 deep box so most of the B&M shifter is under the console, i shaved the corner of the chrome cover plate so it sat flat on the console. I can take a pic tomorrow if you want to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyro Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I made the shifter linkage for my buddy's 350 trans with stock shifter. Seemed to work ok. Took a little trial and error to get the linkage arm that mounts to the trans the right length. Performance shifters can be a pain due to reverse lock out, racketing, and pull releases. And they can get expensive. I have used both, and for a daily driver, I prefer the stock shifter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
