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

Tweet

that would be great man, I have the 16" lokar now, it puts it at about the right height, might be able to go slightly shorter, but not much. Hurst makes a ratchet shift that sits about 15" I think.

I want to make sure I understand it right, the ratchet is setup so when you bump it forward it can't jump into the next gear. right? seems better than a gated where I'd have to depress the lever.

I guess i can get one and sell the lokar. looks like they cost 185-230, I should be able to at least recoupe some cost.

the lokar mounts direct to the transmission. it looks like the Hurst and B&M mount up on the transmission hump/floor? that would make it easier to build that cover I think.

You're right about the ratchet shifter. If it's working right, you can bang it hard as you want and it'll only shift 1 gear(up or down). Has a positve reverse lock out too.

It does mount on the hump and uses a cable to the trans. It comes with a cover that can be trimmed to fit.

I'll get the measurements as quick as I can.

I am using a B&M progate. I didn't want to reach either so I jacked it up with some CNC parts I machined and a pair of alcohol drag boat rods ............

I had the same experience with my 12 in Lokar. The best I can do is lean my leg up against it and "tweek lt" for shifting.

I asked them about it and they said they are working on a ratchet type but who knows when that will come about. That was a year ago.

Check your Lokar instructions to see if there's a friction adjustment down at the pivot point.

Gennie Shifters have one and tightening it up a touch - don't get carried away - helps quite a bit.
