I had a shifter out of a mustang in my 36 Plymouth. It worked great but I didn't like the looks of it. So, I went with Gennie Shifter. The detents were so vague that it was a problem. I bought a Lokar and while taking out the Gennie noticed a couple of nuts had become loose. That was long enough ago that I don't remimber which ones. Since I had the Lokar I went ahead and put it in. It also has vague dents but much better than the Gennie. I agree with the long handle leverage theory.
