TCI 616541 FAST-GATE Shifter, Black

I put this in in about an hour, very very easy. Videos are few and the instructions suck but it was very easy. It functions like a champ and shift firm bet smooth.

i am very happy with this for being basically the cheapest shifter i could find that said it would support a 80e and came with the brackets, it was easy to install, works great, and looks nice!came with all the hardware i needed

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.

I like this shifter. The installation was easy. It operates well. The moving parts on the T handle are noisy. I wish it was a little quieter. The corners on the T handle could be a little smoother. I use it in my snow plow truck and shift a lot and notice those corners. I'm going to try and slip some rubber tube over them.

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

It works okay the lockout is great but can be wonky if not adjusted well. The problem I have is It has large scratches and gouges in the lockout handle from how badly it was delivered. The box looks like it was hit by a truck. I bought it new and expected new shape but can't return it as I don't have another car to drive in the meantime.

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

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..
