Z-Gate Shifter

The B and M AUTOMOTIVE Z-Gate Shifter is a floor-mounted automatic transmission shifter designed for serious enthusiasts who demand precision control and reliability in their classic or modified vehicles. Built for forward-pattern gate operation, this shifter eliminates sloppy cable slack and delivers the firm, direct engagement that experienced mechanics expect when upgrading from worn OEM linkage. Whether you're restoring a vintage muscle car or upgrading a street machine, the Z-Gate Shifter provides the solid feedback and smooth transitions that separate a quality build from a mediocre one.

This shifter features a robust floor-mount design with a 5-foot control cable that allows flexible routing around engine bays and transmission tunnels without binding or kinking under load. The included hardware and complete installation kit mean no hunting for adapter brackets or fasteners—everything needed for installation arrives in the box. The Z-Gate design provides a positive detent feel at each gear position, reducing the risk of accidental mis-shifts during aggressive acceleration or spirited driving. Weighing 7.85 pounds, it's built to commercial-grade standards that handle repeated cycling without play or wear over thousands of shift cycles.

This shifter is compatible with a wide range of classic and contemporary automatic transmissions, including the Turbo 200, Turbo 250, Turbo 350, and Turbo 400 transmissions, as well as Corvette C4, C6, Chrysler A727, and A904 units. Mechanics and restorers working with GM, Ford, and Chrysler platforms will find the universal application invaluable for custom builds and restorations. Installation is straightforward for those with basic mechanical skill, and the forward-pattern gate ensures intuitive operation that matches driver expectations. Ideal for hot rods, street machines, and vintage restorations where OEM shifters are unavailable or worn beyond serviceable limits.
