Trans transplant guys

What are you using for shifters? I have swapped in a 4L80e into a 3 OTT manual truck.

I was thinking this:

Re: Trans transplant guys

I will have to look into that. The unit I posted is the only one that came up on Summit's site with the cable option for a 4L80e. Where can I find these Lokar units?

Re: Trans transplant guys

I'll be using a lokar column shifter set up that is cable operated. It would probably be easiest for you if you switched to a auto steering column.

On my GMC I used a B&M MegaTruck shifter.

Re: Trans transplant guys

I kind of like the B&M Megashifter for strength and ease of install. I have it in my two trucks and my son's truck.
