Winters Standard to Lockout Shifter Conversion Kit for Powerglide
1490-08
The Winters Performance Standard to Lockout Conversion Shifter Kit allows you to upgrade an existing non-lockout Winters shifter to a reverse lockout configuration, adding an important layer of safety and race compliance to your vehicle.
This conversion kit installs directly into compatible Winters shifters and adds a reverse lockout mechanism designed to prevent accidental engagement of reverse—an essential requirement for many racing organizations and a smart upgrade for high-performance street, off-road, and competition vehicles.
This kit converts the shifter only. If you are changing transmission types, the appropriate linkage kit is required and sold separately.
