The Winters Sidewinder Lockout Shifter for 700R4 & 4L60E is designed for 700R4 and 4L60E automatic transmissions, 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 length is required.

The lockout version includes a neutral safety switch, ensuring the vehicle can only be started when the shifter is in Park.

Tech Insight

The 700R4 and 4L60E overdrive transmissions are popular in LS swaps and performance street builds. Proper detent alignment is critical to ensure full overdrive engagement and prevent cable over-travel. The Winters Sidewinder lockout design provides precise manual control while eliminating the risk of accidental reverse engagement under load.
