Disabling slapshifter? - 8/12/2007 5:52:19 PM    Big Paul   Posts: 10 Joined: 8/9/2004 Status: offline Hey Guys- Have an 06 R/T. Actually it's my wifes! More than once while driving around town we have inadvertantly hit the shifter. I tried searching the forum. Is there a way to disable the slapshifter? If so how and is it easily toggled? Thanks in advance. B.P. Post #: 1

I know it's cool to have but for the daily around town driving my wife usually does, it can be trouble. Thanks again guys. Please let me know if you hear something. B.P.

You should have bought the Police package -- the shifter is on the column... LOL. I have read many posts, but don't remember a disable feature.  Would Superchips do this at all?? Good luck.
