TCI 616541 FAST-GATE Shifter, Black

I love this shifter I wished I had gotten tow

I purchased this as a cost effective replacement for Hurst and B&M options. I have used both of those brands throughout my hot rodding time. Although both brands are still high quality they have become very overpriced in my opinion. TCI has been a long term brand of convertor and parts for transmissions I have good experience with. Seeking an alternative solution I made the decision to purchase this shifter. I am pleased with the quality, feel and design. The ratchet mechanism is solid and crisp, offers 3 or 4 speed options and the design fits well in any application. The cover is thick and not cheaply made and so far seems very durable. I would definitely recommend this for street or race.

Ok ill start by sayin this is a very nice and well built shifter the instructions how ever are for a 3 speed transmission if you are installing this on a 4 speed 700r4 like i did you will need to buy 4 new mounting bolt about 1/2 in longer no biggie 3 bucks at lowes and you will need to mount cable bracket on inside shifter instead of on face like instructions say if not you can not get shifter to go back to 1st gear and it will not adjust right i know spent 2 hrs before i changed cable mount on shifter then it took all of 10 min to adjust and had el camino moving again ... This was an 81 el camino install

Arrived quickly, it’s universal directions are not the best. I put back in the box all the parts that didn’t fit to my Chevy application... I bolted it up to a th350 Chevy transmission, good fit, looks nice, just would be nice to have a nicer looking and sturdier case instead of the black plastic but serves the purpose. Thanks guys.

This is the first TCI shifter I have purchased. The shifter is awesome. It’s a heck of a value, usually I buy B&M. The only hitch in the instructions for locating the shifter cable tab on the outside of the bracket. For overdrive transmissions, GM 4L80-60, the tab needs to be located on the inside of the bracket . ( I called TCI tech line and a human being answered on the first ring! ) Definitely recommend the shifter

Nice looking shifter but not much on action can’t pop up through the gears does not stop will keep going to neutral

I got this for my K5 blazer and it fits perfectly. It's the right hight for the rig. Fairly easy to install. The only downside is no light in it..

Used this product for a 1979 Pontiac Grand Prix SportHad upgraded the transmission to a stage 4 200R4 and needed a 4 speed shifter. 5 stars
