not unless you get a shifter to go with. you need someting to release the reverse lockout.

Check out B-M-80842. It should work for our cars, and ratchet shifters kick ***.

Ya'll got electronic transmissions. 4L60Es to be exact, if you look at B-M-80842 you'll see nowhere does it even list 4L60.. Closest you get is the 700R4 ;)


You need to go to RKSport. The shifters you're looking at are for stickshifts if I am looking at the same one you are. RKSport has the style you are looking for.

Electronic controlled shifting vs hydraulic shifting. Thats what makes ratchet shifting available on 700R4s but not 4L60Es :D

Thanks for clearing that up. Now I know, and knowing is half the battle. :cool:

but on B&Ms site it says its made for automatics, and i think are threads will fit, instead of pushing down a button to shift from park, u press the whole knob down i heard, but i wasnt sure

the B&M autoshifters have a T-handle that you must pull up on, this keeps the shifter fromgoing directly into reverse when racheting (shifting). the handle replaces teh buton onour cars.

The aftermarket auto shifter handles that I've tried are all junk and take a lot of fitment work to even begin to work properly, then they rattle! Stick with stock, or get an O.E. replacement from a Firebird or a Corvette (I hear they're interchangable)
