Re: Lokar Shifters - Cable or Rod ????
350 Trans Floor shifter and I like the looks of the Lokar.
I'm open to suggestions for other floor shifters you all like. I'm going to the floor for sure just doing some research. I 'd like to say under $300 and am looking for looks and ease of shifting and installation.

Re: Lokar Shifters - Cable or Rod ????
i like lokar for thier quality and great looks// i've had a few they've held up great mine were rod linkage as i dont think cable was available when i purchased them also i used the tranny mount ones as the floor mount wasn't available back then
for a TH 2004R i would strongly advise the floor mount rather than tranny mount as the 200 doesnt have removeable tail shaft and the tranny mounted shifter is hard to stop from ratteling

Re: Lokar Shifters - Cable or Rod ????
The Lokar shifters are available with a cable. This was designed for applacations where the shifter is mounted directly above the selector shaft. When the shifter is mounted that far foward it will not shift because the shifter will move foward of the selector shaft. Any questions please contact our tech department Toll Free 1-877-469-7440.
Thanks John |

I would think a rod style is better especially when the shifter is mounted to the trans. |
