Iv read all thoes but the third one I like pockets trans mount but I don't have a welder or skills to craft something like that and I'm thinking I need a longer shift linkage so I can run through all my gears if I could get a link or part number for a shift link that will work I'll buy one but the crossmember I'm even will to pay someone to make it for me

I'd be willing to sell my old 4l80e arm and bracket so you can use the stock shifter/cable

How much and I got the arm that came off my 80e and at the moment I have my 700r4 arm on the trans I can shift it out of park and drive but it won't go fully back to park but it won't go past drive

tchampton

I'm willing to buy your shift cable just give me a price you can pm and do you still have your crossmember I'm willing to buy that too but I don't have sfc idk if you welded your crossmember to them or not

I cut and welded the 80E and 700R4 arms together and modified a bracket so all your stock stuff works. Hows $25 for them?

Sounds good what's the best way of payment
