Im thinking of installing either a Lokar or American shifter in my Bolt which is equipped with a TH 350 transmission. Any opinions on which is the best for the buck. The stock shifter is junk.

I also used the nostalgic Lokar shifter on a 350. It looks like a truck 4sp shifter. Had to tweak the bracket and some holes a little but that's typical with many parts I get. It did work and look really nice.

I like the Lokar shifters...and a plus is they sell a kit to allow use of any shifter knob and still have use of the safety button features.

Thank you guys. Ive looked at both Lokars site and American shifter and find Lokars much easier to relate to. To many fancy knobs on American shifter for my taste.
