Ratchet Shifter for 4L60E?
Does anybody sell a ratchet shifter for the 4L60E transmission? I see them for the 7004R but not mine!

Thanks! Just checked it out. Looks like the B&M Megashifter should work but I re-asked just to be sure I'm not reading something wrong.

Thanks again!

I would be carefull putting a ratchet shifter on a 4L60E trans. Manual shifing it with the stock shifter puts a serious hurting on this trans, an actuall ratchet shifter will end it life even sooner.

Yep. Unless you've put in a manual valve body or something, there isn't any reason to shift the gears, the computer does it.

You can,t put a manual valve body in a 4L60E.
PCM controls shifting so you would need a 700R4 or 350 or 400 turbo.

Sure you can. Trans Go sells a manual valve body for the 4L60E.

You could deactivate the PCM control of it, and install a MVB somehow. The 4L60 is similar to a 700R4, I'm sure it's possible.
