The Art Carr - Winters SideWinder Lockout Shifter for GM Powerglide is designed specifically for the GM Powerglide automatic transmission, this lockout configuration features a mechanical reverse lockout system that makes it physically impossible to accidentally shift into reverse from any forward gear.

The shifter comes fully assembled in a standard Winters plastic console and typically includes a 5-foot (3 travel) double-clip push-pull cable and mounting hardware. Shifters are also available without a cable if a custom cable length is required.

The lockout version includes a neutral safety switch, ensuring the vehicle can only be started when the shifter is in Park — adding an essential layer of safety for competition vehicles.

Meets the safety requirements of most major American racing sanctioning bodies, including:

  • National Hot Rod Association (NHRA)
  • International Hot Rod Association (IHRA)
  • SCORE International
  • Best in the Desert (BITD)
  • NASCAR (Dirt and Pavement Modifieds/Late Models)
  • Sprint Cars (305, 360, 410)
  • Drag Racing
  • ULTRA4 Racing

Note: We highly recommend reading your specific rule book; it is essential for safety and technical compliance.
