auto tranny ratchet shifter

[bates]

hey i was watchin an old episode of trucks, whenthey did the project lt extreme, an s-10 extreme with an LT-1, and it had an auto tranny that they put a b&m hammer shifter on. i thought this would be a blast to have in my x! so i guess i have 2 questions is it possible? and what kind of tranny is on a 91 auto w/4x4?

can this be done? i hope so!

It has an A4LD tranny, not sure if it can be done or not...

Try doing a search. I came up with a few threads when I searched for "aftermarket shifter."

The newer A4LDs (yours I think) are a three speed with electronic OD. I know the older ones (pre-1990) did not have electronic OD. This might be your downfall. If you can shift from D to OD on the column shifter keep reading. If you have to push a button, you might be out o fluck.

I've seen a B&M style ratchet shifter on a friends Ranger with the A4LD. I'm almost positive he used a shifter for an AOD since it is a 3 speed with OD.

Most are cable operated which means they will work with anything. The only thing specific to the tranny are the brackets that the cable hooks into to get the correct shift pattern.
