Re: 4L80E - column shift
A great video how to use your current shift linkage "stuff", can be seen here:

Re: 4L80E - column shift
I am doing a little guessing here as I haven't measured the indicators myself.
I believe the indicators with the extra gear are embossed into the same space as the three speed automatics. If you just relocated the stock linkage, to fit the 4 speed, it will be off. If you use aftermarket linkage the ratio is adjustable at the transmission shift station lever. This makes the alignment possible but slightly more difficult shifting as the spacing is so close and the shift effort is slightly higher. My preference is the stock indicator (1-3). With 1st gear, of the 1-4, off to the right far enough it is barely or not a all visible. If you have the electronic overdirves it really makes little difference as the full throttle shifting rpm is programmable and no reason to shift it yourself. Others not familiar with the truck's shifting have no issues getting it in gear. Even if the pick first and get second it's not a safety issue. It come down to "Oh you have an overdirve" when they spot the indicator on the column. Cheers |

Re: 4L80E - column shift
the only detents in the column are the P-N-R spots. past that its open. I have lokar style straight linkage on my 4l80 in the 71 and it works great. D is were its supposed to be. 1st is just lower down than the indicator.
