Automatic floor shifter ?
 

hey guys so i want to get a automatic floor shifter for my 65 c10 its a low trans tunnel thing is .. i don't want to have to remove the trans to put in a shifter seems to me to be a lot of unnecessary work to do just for a floor shifter ... i would prefer to mount to the floor ... next is im one of those guys that like the tall rat rod look of a shifter so its kinda what im wanting to go with as far as style BUT lol all of what i have seen has this mounting system that mounts to the top of the trans and would require me to drop the trans out of the truck ... i just cant see doing this for a shifter . so im asking for ideas on how to accomplish this look and or what you guys are using for floor shifters the ease of installing them the use of them durability and such . i may change my mind to something you guys have it it proves easier to install and is durable ... also money plays a big part to lol im not made of it :chevy: Happy Truckin

gennie shifter or lokar both make floor mount automatic shifters and make long sticks too. I have a lokar in my 47 on a 4l60e and its nice, it is a trans mount type though..

I have been thinking about ordering a Lokar shifter. The instruction online you don't have to drop your trans to install it. But I don't know how much of a pain is to install without doing so.

Re: Automatic floor shifter ?
 

yeah i called Gennie Shifters and asked them if they make a floor mount shifter and they said no .. all of their shifters are trans mounted on a plate system :(

Re: Automatic floor shifter ?
 

dear god ! lol on a diff post here after mine somebody said to get a Kilduff Twister Shifter .. they look great and would deffinatily fit my style im trying to go with but for the love of all that is holy ! $ 350.00 ? for a shifter ? lol i want to drive my truck with it .. not use it as a solid gold cane >.<

Re: Automatic floor shifter ?

I have a Lokar automatic floor shifter on my 700R4. I mocked it up while the transmission was out of the truck but there would easily be enough room to install it in the truck with the floor hump removed (I have a large hump). *This does not mount to the floor, it mounts to the top of the transmission.

Re: Automatic floor shifter ?
 

I really dig the look of yours. Is that the 23" shifter?

Re: Automatic floor shifter ?
 

i dig it too ... but i just cant justify pulling a trans out to do a shifter lol seems really crazy to me lol

Re: Automatic floor shifter ?
 

Crazy question...why don't you guys ever just go to a manufacturers website to find what you want?

Lokar: http://www.lokar.com/product-pgs/shi...p-shifter.html

Its a flat floor cable operated shifter that actually mounts to the floor not the transmission and can be had up to 23" long.

Re: Automatic floor shifter ?
 

Yes it is the 23" one. This exact one: http://www.summitracing.com/int/part...00am/overview/

heres a crazy question is that much of a problem that i came here to ask ? i dont think so Happy Truckin

Re: Automatic floor shifter ?
 

That wasn't the point I was making so don't get all pissed off about it. I look first then ask if I can't find anything. To me it just seems like it was too much work to look for yourself then kept whining about not wanting to pull your trans out to mount one...I'm just sick and tired of having to do the work for someone else because their too lazy to do it themselves. You didn't ask me to do it but I did it because The whining is childish as was your last reply.

Re: Automatic floor shifter ?
 

WOW REALLY ? lol im not gonna waste my time arguing with you your lil opinion of me or my post dont mean jack to me ... i could care less how you feel . but i will say this this site is exactly for what i did so it seems to me that maybe if you cant handle it being used as such maybe your in the wrong place ya think ? anyway ill be here a long time asking away my questions . and if you dont want to help or you feel it is Whining then feel free to keep on trucking right past my posts . there are many other people on here who have been a help to me . so i refuse to let one giant rotten apple to ruin it for me HAVE A NICE DAY ! :lol:

Re: Automatic floor shifter ?
 

This was a little harsh of a reply. Tone things down please. If you don't want to take the time to answer a post, then don't. If you're "sick and tired of having to do the work" then it might be time to step away from the forum. The site is about sharing info, ideas and thoughts in a friendly, family oriented method. If this is not what you want to do, we can help give you a break. Trust me, I work in IT and not everyone has a good ability to search for info. You can help those folks or just stay quiet. Ridiculing them is not helpful.

Only warning on this. Thanks for your understanding.

My B&M shifter is floor mount, cable operated, and super simple to install. No tranny removal necessary!

Re: Automatic floor shifter ?
 

oh does B&M make a tall shifter ? i havent seen one yet . that would be cool if they did

Re: Automatic floor shifter ?
 

Oops...sorry buddy, didn't see the part that you were looking for a tall shifter. My bad.

Re: Automatic floor shifter ?
 

no prob ty for the help

Re: Automatic floor shifter ?
 

Lokar has floor mount and tranny mount shifters with tall shifters. I have the tranny mount in my truck. If you remove the hump you can get to everything you need without dropping the tranny. Just put the floor mount one in my wifes 52 Cough Ford Cough. Just had to cut the hole in the floor and bolt it down, then go under the car to connect everything. Both pretty easy to inastall.

Re: Automatic floor shifter ?
 

lol OMG ! you said the F Word lol yeah im gonna look into the floor mount lokar now i know they make them lol ... as for removing my trans hump i cant i have a low hump so no bolts to un bolt :( im wondering if i can use my custom shift knob on it or not now cause i have a mean looking big bad wolf with a top hot that i want to use on it . and i know they have some silly detent on them in the middle of their knob which i wont need with my knob

Re: Automatic floor shifter ?
 

Haha tried to hide the f word. Ya totally forgot about the small hump not coming off. As long as you can get a wrench between the tranny and the bottom of the floor from underneath to tighten the bolts then it's pretty easy. 4 bolts hold it to the floor. Then just cut out a slit for the lever to go through the floor and connect the rod to the tranny. Pretty easy as long as you follow the instructions as far as the angles. They sale an adapter to use whatever you want as knob. So instead of the push bottom you just push down on your wolfhead. I have a beer tap in mine. So you can run anything.
