Trying to decide on a floor shift--maybe lokar or B&m megashifter. Any pics out there??

I would like to see some lokar shifters installed, thinking of going this route myself.

How do like this shifter...

I have the b&m in my truck, I don't know if I took a pic before I tore it all down, but since I had left my clutch in when I put in the TH350, people often think it's still stick... I'll see if I did snap a pic before I ripped it apart.

Well, for me it is. I'm 5'8" and when I sit in the truck, the shifter is positioned so that it basically feels as if my arm should be on an arm rest when I have my hand on it. I toggle between OD and 3rd often, so I "shift" a lot. All of the Bowtie Overdrives kits I added to my truck are great, but they still can't cancel out the 700R4's "want" to shift into OD at 40-45 mph under light acceleration. I set mine on the floor so that with the seat all the way back and the shifter in 1st, it's about an inch from the seat.

you guys wiuth the Lokar 16" shifters, what tranny you running?

67ChevyRedneck · 01-22-2008, 11:45 PM

7ooR4. Shouldn't matter. It's a 16" floor mount shifter.

chev74 · 01-23-2008, 01:35 AM

ah, i was hoping you guys had standards.... i have an SM465 with the big long sloppy shift and i was wanting to change trannies or get a shift kit (non existant for the SM465)

I'm running a 700R4, I like the look of the tall stock looking manual shifter.
