I have a 95 4x4 blazer with the 4 speed auto trans with overdrive and I was wondering what kind of transmission it is. I want to get one of those B&M shifters for automatic vehicals but I don't kno if it would work. ( I am willing to do some custom work) They are made for center consal auto shifts and they are engages by a cable. So I was also wondering if I could run a cable from the transmission shift lever to the shifter? I want to loose the standard blazer column shift and use the b&m one. (Sorry its kind of hard to explain.)

Here is a link to one that is one ebay so you can get a little better idea, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/B-M-80776-Sport-Shifter-Automatic-GM-Ford-Chrysler_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33736QQihZ004QQitemZ140137243211QQrdZ1

You have a 4L60E transmission (updated version of the 700R4).

So you want to go from your column shifter to a floor shifter? Hmm... What are you going to do with the column shifter?

Ok thanks, yeah I want the auto shifter on the floor, I want to remove the one on the column somehow

Also I would need to find one with an over drive.

Just kinda curious, why not go with the factory floor shifter option. You can pull the parts out of a bone yard and install it. If i remember dabber did a write up on how to do it. Granted the B&M looks cool but if you were wanting something that matches the rest of your truck that would be the way to go.

Their are no junk yards around here that are willing to part out things like that, (don't ask me why) they only sell exterior parts and anyway, I like the look of those b&m ones. I found one at my autozone here and it is a hurst shifter that would work perfect plus it really isn't that hard to install. The hardest part is going to take out the column shifter.
