Quicksilver shifter versus 200-4r

[Skaal-tel 79]

Hi there TB forums I'm generally lurking on nastyz28.com , but I've been here before, simply because I've managed to shoehorn a 4 speed auto into my camaro.

In fact, this is where I found my transmission builder (Mike, of Transware Transmissions in Toronto) who I found be a stand up guy.

Now here's my dilemma.
I've got a console quicksilver shifter. It appears to be slightly different than the usual floor mounted version. It claims to be compatible with the 700r4 IE 4 speed autos, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to engage OD.

The manual off B&Ms webpage for the floormount says you need to remove a 3 speed blocker pin and e clip, but I don't think this shifter even has one. The manual for the console version makes no mention of compatibility with OD trans at all.

Before I went and bought this thing I asked around and everyone assured me it should work. Please tell me they're right!!

Why not call Mike Ware and ask him... he may have some ideas.

If it is an older model quicksilver, it doesn't use a e-clipped blocker pin, I think it is a bolt you have to remove. With out a cable hooked up, can you ratchet the shifter from 4-3-2-1? If it stops at 2, the blocker pin/bolt hasn't been removed.

You also cannot use the stock trans linkage or cable. You need to buy a cable and use the universal bracket supplied with the shifter. If not you have to buy it also.
