TCI S197 Automatic Shifter - 5.0 Tech Inspection
Many of you are probably wondering what a ratchet-style shifter even is, and how it works. Basically, ratchet shifters allow the driver to move the transmission into one gear position at a time. The 5R55S has a forward shift pattern. When the shifter is manually pushed forward from First gear, it will only engage once (Second), and then "ratchet" back to a neutral position until Third and then Drive are selected. Positive stops are what this piece is all about. TCI integrated a clean, paddle-topped park-release arm into the StreetFighter, which releases the transmission from Park. When going forward through the gears, it must be used to shift the transmission into Neutral, Reverse (which makes it NHRA-legal), or back into Park. View Related Article
