    Glad you got your Lokar straightened out. Like you, I found out you have to play with them a little once installed to get them adjusted correctly. But in the 3 years mine was on my 23 I really had no major issues with it, and never missed an upshift when playing around in traffic. I'd also suggest anyone who has one buys the adapter to run a big knob that you just push down on to shift........much easier than pushing that little button on the original IMO.

    As a side note, it appears something may be going on at Gennie Shifters.......rumors on other forums about them going out of business. There had been a rebutal from Gennie posted on their website, saying that a disgruntaled employee was spreading those rumors, and they were not true, however, another guy just posted that he talked to them the other day and they were "selling off inventory and had lost some suppliers." He was trying to buy a shifter from them and they didn't have all the parts in stock to do it. There was also talk about some employees not being paid for some time.

    I have no hard facts, other than what was posted there, but thought I would just mention it in case anyone is anticipating buying a Gennie in the near future.

    I really like the Lokar style auto shifter, just hart to find one with the tall style, but operated by a cable. With a hard mount, my c-6 and 460 engine the shifter would be coming out of the middle of my seat. Finally went with a B&M truck shifter, with cable mount. They seem to work well, but only used to back out of garage so far!
