Bruce WilliamsStart looking at Biondo or Shiftnoid. I cant recall ever seeing one mounted in front of the shifter.

3-speed shifters are a tough nut to crack.
There are only a few options, and none of them are front mount.
You're almost stuck with going to the Turbo-Action Cheetah deal for an electric.
I like the ACD air shift rig, but I don't like the controller setup.
What air shifter have you been running?
Want to sell it?
goob- still hand jobbing it.....

EmanI've used electric on 3 spd both forward shift pattern and reverse and with a Pro-Stick and Pro-Ratchet but the solenoid is always on the back.

GoobOf course there are always the $1,000 options....Motion Raceworks, Precision, M & M ???
All self contained like the Turbo Action I think....

CURTIS REEDThe “thing” you asked about, your shifter. Rotate the front of it to the right. Gives room for whatever actuator behind it and you can still use it as normal.

W.A.O. 111ah , theres bucket seats , emergency brake behind that, and shifter all in a small spot .(pro-street)
the shifter is already angled a bit. front mount is all i got . and ive never seen it in front either
looks like ill have to do without

DragRaceResultsAlthough I'm proud of our Titan Shifters, like others including the Biondo or B&M will have the solenoid in the rear as they push the lever.
Motion Raceworks does offer Co2 version that pulls the lever and is mounted in the front that may work for you, but I don't think you will find an electric activated shifter with the solenoid in the front, just due to the way they're built to work.

CURTIS REEDThis one is for a reverse pattern T400
https://motionraceworks.com/pr...er-front-exit-16-112Another option is to raise it up on a pedestal so the solenoid clears the Ebrake handle.

ski_dwn_itran Shiftnoid on 3 speed for years.
Moved to a motion raceworks for Glide now.
On the wiring you NEED to make sure you wire directly to battery with heavy 10g wire using a relay with fly back diode. Do not chince out the solenoids pull a lot of juice and you dont want it sluggish.
Call shiftnoid they will hook you up.

No electric option.

Yes, I know. I was just posting the correct version of that shifter for the trans he has.

DragRaceResultsSorry guys didn't read correctly that it was a 3 speed.
