Has anybody tried this... "manumatic" shifting on 700r4
Hey guys, I was wondering if anybody ever attempted to get a "manual mode" in the 700r4. Kinda like with paddle shifters on the steering wheel or a separate manual shift gate on the shifter. I know it's kinda cheezy but being able to control when your car shifts is pretty cool IMO. I'm sure it's easier than a manual transmission swap....

I doubt it'd be easier than a M/T swap because you'd still be swapping the trans with a later electronically controlled version (ala 4L60e/4L80e/6L80e/etc) and then using a standalone controller.

Just like my other car with a five speed, you put it in the gear, not that retarded + and - crap.
But seriously if you want full control when it shifts, man up and get a real manual...
Yeah I'd like to but I don't have the money/resources to do that to my trans am 'vert. Besides I'd like to keep it sort of stock. But thanks for the info guys.

Yeah i hear ya on the money, I wanted to swap in a manual when my 700 went out, I was actually gonna pick up a complete 95 camaro z28 with a lt1 and a 6 speed in it for $1000, we were just about to head down there and then the guy said he sold it to someone else, after i told him i would buy it, i woulda even paid more
