    Used a F body console model and adapted it to a 4T60 FWD. Took some getting use to for the reverse detent, park to drive and back again to park - but the upshift from low to sec, etc. is really positive and sure - unlike a stock shifter. D

    I've got the Light Truck Mega shifter in my 46 on a T350.

    Works good. Very positive. Once you get used to the reverse lockout, you really don't even think about it.

    I would recomend a ratcheting shifter versus the quarter stick and pro stick. I have had the quarter stick, pro stick models while shifting to second, pass through 3rd and go into neutral when the lever is not fully seated. Thats a bad situation when you are at 7000 RPM at wide open throttle and slipping into neutral instead of third. That is just my personal opinion and experience. I took the quarter stick out last summer, skipped it across the drive way and put in the pro ratchet shifter.

    Mooneye , I know about slaming third and into neutral. You see dollar bill signs Especially with no rev eliminator. Scare crap out you.
