Pro Gate Auto Shifter Rear Exit w/Rev Lockout

The B and M AUTOMOTIVE Pro Gate Auto Shifter Rear Exit with Rev Lockout (Model 80901) is a precision floor-mounted automatic transmission shifter designed for GM 3-speed applications. This shifter delivers tight, responsive gear selection with a safety-focused design that prevents accidental reverse engagement during forward driving—a critical feature for high-performance driving, drag racing, and street use where unintended shift events can compromise vehicle control or cause mechanical damage.

The rear-exit cable configuration allows flexible installation geometry while maintaining direct, mechanical actuation of the transmission valve body. The included hardware and pre-assembled cable assembly reduce fabrication time and installation complexity compared to standalone shifter mechanisms. The reverse lockout mechanism functions independently of driver input—it engages automatically when the shifter lever is in forward gears, mechanically preventing the transmission from responding to reverse commands. This design is standard in competition shifters where shift repeatability and safety margins are non-negotiable.

This shifter is engineered for builders and enthusiasts who demand direct transmission control without electronic intermediaries. It suits applications ranging from bracket racing and street machines to restoration projects where modern electronic shifters are incompatible or undesirable. The 6.2-pound unit integrates into the vehicle's interior with minimal visual footprint, allowing custom shifter knob and boot selection to match the build aesthetic. Compatibility with GM 3-speed transmissions (Turbo 350, Turbo 400) makes this a reliable platform for classic and contemporary hot rod projects.
