Side note. I've used Lokar shifters on a number of LS/4L60E swaps and they have been bullet proof. But they have gone crazy price wise. Even the cheaper B&M shifters are close behind price wise.
I was close to pulling the trigger on a nice Lokar until I realized an AR5 can be had for the same price. Granted, some doodads to add to an AR5 to make it work, but doesn’t require the full disassembly a T56 does to relocate the shifter, and a new ring & pinion.

This is the “for now” solution.
