GOING AUTOMATIC!!!!!!!!!!!!(need info)

[BERT306]

ok i got the twin 57's and thought i would like the idea of having a 6 speed with this setup but not really liking the coming in and out of boost in between gear changes and not really wanting to get it it put on me by a kb or whipple car cause of this so i've decided to go with a fully built turbo 400 with a trans brake and need some input on ideas for shifters and shifter location and also what converter would be best for this setup and any other input u have would be greatly appreciated....thanks in advance

This thread was written by a friend of mine. He did a nice job of documenting everything he had to deal with while doing his whipple car. He did all the work at home with basic hand tools.

started down the TH400 path

My car has twin 61's and a JW TH400 with brake. I would call JW on the transmission. They can also help you with a converter...

On the shifter, move it back on the console.. Way up by the stereo is too far forward IMO.. My car has a Hurst Quarter Stick... It's got custom ABS plastic bezels to block the factory shifter hole, and where the console was cut out for the shifter. The factory shifter spot makes a great spot for an XM radio, or a cup holder.. LOL Pics: (I just ran out and snapped these with my phone.. Sorry the light in the parking garage here at work isn't all that great!

Being 6'2 and wanting to keep the interior stock looking, I kept my shifter in the factory location. Its a B&M pro ratchet shifter that has been moded just a little.

Although this was for a 4r70 it has alot of info on the shifter and locations.

I bought the car this way, but it's a custom piece cut out of a piece of ABS plastic.. It wouldn't be hard to reproduce..

Here's a pic of my shifter setup. A member on here, 4sdvenom, makes the setup. He's very reasonable and does great work. Puts the shifter exactly where it needs to be.

That's just way too far forward for me... Can you reach it with your seatbelt on going down the track??? I couldn't...

Never had an issue with the Hurst quarter stick there the past 5 years, so I saw no reason to move it.

I have pretty much the same setup as you
