I can use a female driver that isn't afraid of the skinny pedal and can shift gears! I'll find the June dates and let you know of the next event after Memorial Day weekend.

Happy noon!

Mike, my ranger has a c6. It's just that it has a full manual reverse pattern valve body, so you need to shift it through the gears.

good for racing, not so good for the street. If you want somehting close, get a Transgo Stage II kit. It will give you the manual 1st and 2nd gears that will hold no matter what, but if you put it in drive, it will act like a normal auto except for the much firmer shifts.
