so guys, im looking to bag my ba xr6t sedan front and rear
im chucking g6e turbo 19's on my princess and want to bag her to lower her more. shes running sssl in the rear at the moment and i could easily drive my b-double under her she's that high. im also getting a box built by dtm in geelong, its going to have a manual valve body and all that ***** and it will be fullt manualised when i change the computer over. now i want to run a b&m shifter, like the one in the link i have at the bottom of the thread. what i want to do, if possible, is have it so i have P,R,N, and then straight across to the manual shifting position. ( competely remove the DRIVE position in the shifter) i want to get rid of it drive because according to dtm the way their boxes are built if at any point the car is somehow put into drive it will keep taking off in 2nd gear and do stupid things like that. also with the shifter i want to remove the part of the interior that has the P,R,N,D on it and replace it with the manual one that has the sleeve that runs up the gear stick. i have seen photos on here of a guy that runs a manualised box with a b&m quicksilver shifter with the manual surround too which is basically what im talking about but i want to completely remove the D position and install a pistol grip style of shifter. does anyone know of somewhere in geelong or melbourne that could help me with either of the work im doing? this is the style of shifter im looking at http://bmracing.com/wp-bnmcont/uploads/81120.jpg |

I would have thought the place building the transmission could help you out.

had nothing to do with the shifters , but i`m thinking a big speed shop that caters for drag stuff might help, i may be barking up the wrong tree , but i`m thinking Mc Donald bros in thomastown, VPW in epping might be worth a phone call.

I don't think you will find a shifter like you want. They usually just go like normal but have lockouts from ever getting into N. Mine is a Hurst, and I love it, ratchet action for 1,2,3 and lift up gates for anything forward of that.
