Today, I installed the Lokar Cable Shifter. This baby wasn't cheap, (about $245.00, but about 95 out of a 100 street rods go with them), so I did too. It's definitely a quality, well built unit and the instructions are very precise. Also, quite adjustable. If I had it to do over, might not go with the cable, (lokar offers both types) might do a direct adjustable rod hookup instead, given how short the distance from the shifter to the ear on the tranny, but I think it will be fine. The thing is you're riding over top the transmission, so you don't need 4 feet of cable. The install went very well, and it's done. Placement of the shifter is negotiable and I didn't use the original hole from the old 4 speed manual. I will weld in a patch later to fill the hole where the old shifter came through the floor. Here are some pictures, but it's still rough looking. I was dreading this job, and it was a bear, but now it's done.
