Console QuickSilver Automatic Shifter

Console QuickSilver Automatic Shifter; Ratchet 3-Speed; Floor;

Easy to use, clean good looks and dependable ratcheting design makes the QuickSilver one of our most popular shifters. This console model is designed for a perfect fit in the factory console of your 1973-1981 Camaro or 1970-1981 Firebird, and like all Quicksilver shifters, features a trigger-less shift handle design. When in Park, you simply lift the handle and pull back and let the handle drop once in or past Reverse. Once out of Park, theres no need to lift the handle to shift gears until you either need to access Reverse or Park. From Drive, just lift the handle straight up and this will bypass the reverse lockout safety feature, then move the shift handle forward into Reverse or Park. Its just that easy! Also, the reverse lockout feature meets NHRA and IHRA safety regulations and wont allow you to accidentally over shift into reverse while making a pass at the strip. To use the ratcheting function at the strip, shift into low gear, launch the vehicle and hit the shifter forward when its time to shift. You cannot over-shift and miss a gear. The chrome bezel, shift stick, and knob are all accented by the black boot and deep blue medallion, giving your second-gen Camaro or Firebird interior that classic muscle car style, while providing fast and smooth ratchet shifting. The shifter includes a lighted gear position indicator in the bezel. Attaches to the factory shift cable and comes with all hardware, detailed instructions and everything needed for an easy installation you can do at home. Compatible with TH350, TH400, 700R4, 200R4, 4L60 transmissions right out of the box. Notes: 4L60E - 4L80E transmissions with PRNDL switch will require installation kit #75498 (without PRNDL switch use #35498) and B&M cable #80605.

As performance enthusiasts today, most people are accustomed to having access to whatever performance parts they need for their vehicle readily available at their local dealer. It usually never crosses anyone's mind who invented these products? Who was the first to identify the need, then develop and manufacture that product? Since the very early 1950s, B&M has been at the vanguard of the growing automotive aftermarket. Racers themselves, B&M's founders identified the needs of local racers and street performance enthusiasts, and developed products to fill those needs. As the industry grew so did B&M. And as racers went faster, B&M developed products to help them break the records they just set. In the 50's it was B&M who came up with the idea of using a performance reinforced Hydramatic for racing. In the 60s it was B&M who developed shifters to go along with it, and later in the decade came race converters. In the 70's shift and transmission improving kits, and always the constant refinements and expansion of existing product lines. If you've ever raced a vehicle, or driven a hot rod with an automatic transmission, high stall torque converter, an aftermarket automatic shifter, or performance enhancing shifting kit, thank B&M. From Trick Shift performance ATF to reverse pattern valve bodies, 1.80 gearsets to cool canisters, the list of firsts goes on and on. It's this tradition that keeps moving B&M to identify and develop what the performance enthusiast needs. As racing and street performance has spread globally, B&M has taken it's extensive knowledge and experience and applied it to the needs of racers, everyday drivers and hobbyists around the world. Keep looking to B&M to continue to be amongst the very first to identify vehicle needs in the global automotive aftermarket, supplying enthusiasts and racers what they need, performance!
