Thread: shifting at full throttle with a lokar? adjustment?

Tweet

I'm pretty sure I have all the parts, they should all be on there I don' have the box though, the guy didn't give me that with the truck when we bought it. Summit lists it for 220. I guess I'll list it for 145.20 and see if it moves. I really need to sell that cobra jet carb too.

thanks man.

Loop the excess cable in a circle under the floorboards then bring it to the trans bracket.

A shallow angle on a cable makes em last a long time.

As C9 said, loop it - after using a couple of the cable B&M shifters in previous cars, you really do need that length to get a smooth transition from the shifter to the transmission arm. And since Hurst and B&M are now owned by the same company......

thanks guys, I'll do that. I think i read that it comes with some clamps to attach it under the floorboard. if not I have something I can use. I'm going to order it today.

Well i think it's going to work, the problem with the Lokar shifter is the way they have it "programmed". All that need to be done is to reprogram the shifter to let you bang second from first then bush the botton hold and hit third. I was able to add stops as needed and after the install it works flawless. Who said you can't bang gears with a Lokar??

Hey that looks good except the reverse is not very pronounced or positive. If it works itworks. I like your ingenuity.

Thats what i was planning on doing to modify my shifter... Was that piece (the flat one with the indents) you have cut using a laser cutter, if not how did you have that piece cut?

Also another question does the lokar shifter for a 700r4 have an indent for the overdrive or is that controlled via the lock up on the convertor? im having trouble working that out...

I move very very slow when in reverse.

I had it cut out on a water jet then i used a small file to tune it after clamping it to the sider plate.
