Alright guys (and girls?) not sure if this belongs in this area or not, feel free to move it if need be. Anyway, ive been looking at the ratchet shifter setup for the AUTO's. (oh and i dont own a DSM yet just doing research) I understand that there are a few "shift box" mods out there for this, along with "hacking" the TCU, and some blue wire mod thing. All MOD's seem like pretty good alternatives to just leaving it in drive and mashing the gas. However, since my wife will be driving this car as well i will be needing both worlds, ratchet shift and leave in drive. Ive searched and searched, maybe I'm just looking up the wrong thing or something. Also i know understand things that can be done to upgrade the trans as well. So enough story telling and to get to my question.....
What in yall's opinion, would be the best route for maintaining the "stockish" transmission characteristics for the wife, while also allowing me to switch to full line pressure manual shifting? Also, how do the "shift boxes" that you can get (ie: forced four and road surge) work with overdrive? if its been answered before please point me in the right direction.
Thank you, and sorry if this has been answered already I've never owned a automatic car and couldn't find the answer.
