He wants to retain the 4 speed instead of going with an automatic. Can someone here offer an alternative situation? I'll be looking at hydraulic set ups as an option to a mechanical arrangement.

There's a guy, paraplegic, who last I met with him 15 or so years ago; he was living in New Smyrna Beach. He restored a couple 442's, I think at least one of them was featured in Muscle Car Review years back. I recall one having a four speed for which he built a set of hand controls. He had a ZR-1 Corvette (mid-80s, wide body?) that he also invented some sort of electronic shifter mechanism that he may have patented. Search for Bill Streeter.
