I have a few questions about the tranny linkage. What is better original or aftermarket?? Is it hard to get it lined back up and work properly with out clanging or binding??? I usually just throw a B&M Shifter in everything I own but I want to stay original. Any opinions appreciated...

I think it comes down to one's personal preference. I run the factory bracket on mine and I've never had any problems getting it lined up after re-installing. Brands like Lokar look really cool and from the posts I've read they function extremely well, too. Hope this helps you.

Never had any trouble with mine, put the tranny in park and lever in park and tighten one nut, doesn't get much easier.

Not trying to Hi Jack...But I have solid rod style LoKar linkage to the 700r4...do I just put it in Park in both places and bend and cut the rod to fit?

Thanks

Alex
