An early version of this.  It's missing the cable, reverse lock out, cover, neutral safety switch...

I have one in a Mustang.  They are great for manual VB; can't miss a shift.  A bit cumbersome for daily driving.

IT looks like a B&M megashifter. I have one in my '86 351C-powered T-Bird. Hopefully, it works better on a c4 than it does an AOD because I've had nothing but issues with getting the AOD detents to synch with the rooster comb in the Megashfter. As a matter of fact, I had to rebuild my trans because the shifter was giving me Second gear starts due to adjusting it in Neutral. Adjusting it in Drive gets the AOD to Low, but the shifter needs more travel to reach it's detent.
