[importkiller69ss]

i am looking at getting the B&M quicksilver shifter...i like the look of it the most. i am planning on putting it in my 69 camaro with the 4th gen console...however i have a guy offering to sell a mega shifter...how do both of these shift i see the quicksilver has no lever...and the mega does...i have had the z-gate shifter but i hated it and it had the lever liek the mega shifter...........which would you choose for a street car with a little strip time...has any one had both...help me out thanks

I have a Mega Shifter, I like the low profile look.
The lever doesn't bother me.

i wonder how well it will fit in 4th gen m6 console

I have exp w/ both. The Mega shifter just works better. I hate having to lift the stick and have had buddies have theirs stick if the car sits too long. Funniest thing you will ever see is someone trying to use both hands to pull up un a shifter. Looks like they are trying to pull the trans through the tunnel!

Megashifter! I made a custom console panel for mine to fit with my 69 console, with the T handle and line-lock button it just kicks! Looks factory and similar to a manual shifter. Initially I had people try to persuade me to the Quicksilver- Iam estatic I didn't. Better looks and performance.

hammer, bite the bullet its a better shifter. ALL my friends have run the megashifter and hated them. they wobble side to side. i never had one, we've all switched to either pro ratchets, hammers, or a pro stick
pardon me, ill answer the question at hand, megashifter definetly over the quicksilver.

My Megashifter has a little, very little, play from side to side but I don't even notice it. Some of the play mentioned above maybe due to the sheet metal it is attached to- in that case you can add a reinforcing plate to the base. Just MHO.

well i guess we will see i just bought a brand new mega shifter off a guy for 80..i guess not that bad...i hope it fits my 99 m6 console that is going in my 69...we will see i hope i like it b/c i hated the z-gate that my chevelle used to have and then replaced it with the original

[dgumoe]

oh yeah, i'd take a megashifter over a z-gate any day. hell i'd run a stock shifter before id buy a z-gate. and for 80 bucks, you cant beat that deal. dave, i thought the play was due to the mounting too, but it wasnt. i dunno, b&m says its normal. but i bought the hammer and its solid as a rock.

[importkiller69ss]

does anyone know if i can use the stock shift linckage and the brackets on the th 350....or do i have to use the b&m stuff

[dgumoe]

pretty sure youve gotta use the b&m stuff, its only one bracket though. alot simpler i believe.
