No, it doesn't. It only has P, R, N, and STUPID.

Yes it does have the 4 drive positions, They come with the shifter, and you have to install them into the shifter when you get it.

Very Nice Tim!

Peter these are great shifters, just make sure if you do get one, that you set it up perfectly as in adjustment wise, or you may have some problems.

I hate it when people don't pay attention. The very first reply to this post had links. Each of those links had pictures. There were SEVERAL pictures that clearly showed P, R, N, D, 3, 2, 1. All that needed to be done was to click the links and look at the pics. I mean C'Mon .... Dr G. did the search and posted the reply.

True, but he's new. No biggie. My grandfather always said;

lmao, that's just wrong.

It's a great shifter for me. I've heard some on here say it's crap, must have been the installer

b&m shifter worth the money

i have pictures of how you can install the b&m shifter but i have to find them.......and just to let ya know its not easy like they say in the magazines.....i was restoring my interior in my iroc and i actually took the whole center console out and put the b&m shifter in and it was a HELL OF A LOT EASIER then having to get your hands in that small space to install it with the center console on...its hard that way and my first shifter was put in that way and guess what it broke finally cause it was a pain to do...so i had to get a new one and now im happy as a pig in sh.....it and love the snaps gear to gear to gear to gear.....no miss shifts.O and one more thing drill 2 extra sheet metal screws for better hold back and front cause those small screws will eventually losen and rip out......trust me on this.

I got a used megashifter from a guy on TGO. Im hoping my install does smooth. I think it will since its already been in a thirdgen. I figure all the rigging should be done already.

I might go ahead and order a 4' cable. Since everyone says the 5' cable is way to long.

P.S. to solve the confusion.. the cable supplied was WAYYYYYYYYYYY to long.. Could have went at least a foot shorter. made it real hard to bend around the top there
