The light truck Megashifter is better suited for truck and bench seat applications with its overall height of 14.85-inches tall (2.25-inches taller than #80690 Megashifter.) The positive ratcheting action won’t allow you to over-shift and miss a gear at that critical moment, along with the reverse lockout feature meets NHRA/IHRA safety rules for those weekend grudge races at the track, while the look and feel of the T-handle and accordion style shift boot really shows off its racing heritage. Other features include a black console that you can trim to match the contour of your vehicle’s floor, 5-foot long shifter cable, cable brackets, transmission shift levers, chrome plated top plate with lighted gear indicator and everything needed for an easy at home installation. An optional T-handle with a 12-volt button is available separately for actuating a trans-brake, nitrous oxide or other accessories for the hard-core performance enthusiast. This shifter fits most popular Chrysler, Ford and GM 3 and 4-speed automatic transmissions. Note: AOD transmissions require optional kit #40496, GM 4L60E through 4L85E transmissions with PRNDL switch will require optional kit #70499. Overall Dimensions – 14.9L x 6.4W x 14.8H
