TH350 to 4L60E.. trans linkage?
I am swapping an LS1 with a 4L60E into my 72. The truck currently has a B&M megashifter that was used on my previous TH350. The (not so friendly) tech at B&M told me I needed a new shifter before saying I could just change the bracket. B&M only makes one bracket for it that they call universal for all GM trans (350, 400, 700r4, 4l60e, etc).
When I shift to "D", I understand that the trans will upshift as normal into 4th but does this mean I can only ratchet to 1-2-3 (meaning it will auto shift 3-4)? I see there is also a 1-2-3-D window, but I dont understand how that works with only 3 ratchet detents. I'm sure, like most things, that I'm just looking at it wrong. Can anyone shed some light? Also, the Megashifter is just going to be a temporary solution. Is it difficult to adapt the 4L60 to the factory column shift lever?

Re: TH350 to 4L60E.. trans linkage?
I'm usind a factory shifter with 4l60e. I may have welded up my own bracket out of some junk I had laying around. I know I had to modify my shift rod, it may have been because I moved the engine back or to clear my headers.
I deleted the pic on my phone, I know I posted it here before. If you want a pic I could probably take another. Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device
