6R80 going in place of the C6 and want to use the Winters shifter.

Is there a good solution for the 6r80 being used with a Winters Shifter. I saw a couple of the old posts and was curious as I am trying to do this right now. I have a Winters C6 reverse pattern rock crawler shifter in there now and would like to keep it in the custom console I already have.

Winters is what I'm using and have used the same one since about 2010 with my 4r and my 6r. Standard pattern with a gate removed and a block out plate for quick "1" to "R" if needed.

Without a doubler which I ran for decades I had to run the shifter housing under the tcase as there isn't enough length to come over the top of the t-case (protection) and not have too sharp a radius to attach it to the back of the pan.

So I ran it this way for a year always worried about (it was protected) ripping it or catching it on something so I made a shifter arm and bought a LONG shift cable and looped it out the back of my shifter and ran it up over the top of my bellhousing. The shifter arm is upward now instead of in the stock down position so I made the arm and it works great.

Not sure if you will need to come in from the front just depends on if your shift cable exits the front or rear of your shifter.

I have the rock crawler gate Number 3015-1 already so the 1 to R shifts I think will work fine. Not sure if the gate spacing is different with the C-4/C-6 Shifter vs. the 4R70 shifter though. Winters shows different part #3286-1 for the 4R70E. Did you mount a switch somewhere for the manual up down shifts and does it hold gears etc.

Was looking at using a Carling style Switch to match the rest of my console switches, wasn't sure that was the best way to go though.

I use the carling style for manual shifting.

I was given a bunch of Winters gates & accessories from a guy that was dropping the line since he made his own shifters and was selling them.

I look and see what the spacing looks like i have one
