There's a million different choices out there. Anyone had any good/really bad experiences? ----------------------------------- Rollin' Hard 1946 Chevy 1/2 ton 1959 Phord 1/2 ton 2001 Chevy 1/2 ton

Gennie Shifter Lokar There is no problem so great that it cannot be solved by the application of thought, elbow grease and copious amounts of CASH. Snappy

HOWEVER...i have a new Hurst pro-matic ratchet shifter, which i intend to install on the ledge between the driver's door panel and the driver's seat. JMO, the LOKAR shifter is not a performance slamming-jamming floor shifter. since it's not, i have no intention of sticking a shifter like that, between the passenger's legs. i might as well leave it on the steering column! :rolleyes: Myron 1956 chevy 3100 stepside, Pro-Street stance, mild 454 BBC/350/9"/13" M/T'S, daily driver, aka THE PINK LADY 1957 Bel-Air coupe, 500 HP blown sbc in progress, aka LANI
