Winters Sidewinder Gated Floor Shifter for 4L80E
The Winters “Sidewinder” Gated Shifter is a fully assembled, console-style floor shifter designed for strength, precision, and reliability. Built to handle street, strip, and off-road use, this shifter includes a 5-foot high-quality shift cable and all required mounting hardware for a straightforward installation.
Whether you’re competing or simply want a performance advantage, the Winters Sidewinder delivers exceptional control and durability. Its rugged construction stands out in both form and function, providing smooth, precise shifts through every gear without binding or jamming.
Fail-Safe Reverse Lockout
A built-in Fail-Safe reverse lockout system prevents accidental shifts into reverse. A heavy-duty steel guard bar makes it mechanically impossible to shift into reverse from any forward gear—ideal for high-performance and off-road applications where safety is critical.
Crisp, Positive Shifting
The Sidewinder uses a premium-grade shift cable engineered to eliminate the “springy” feel found in lesser shifters. The result is clean, responsive engagement into the selected gear every time.
