junkyardjohn · 10-14-2003, 12:13 AM

YEP THATS IT. I PAID $150 FOR IT, BUT THEN I GOT 2 OF EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE SHIFTER MECHANISM ITSELF. THE CABLE IS $34 & THE T-HANDLE IS $22 SO IT IS A PRETTY GOOD BARGAIN AT $120. LETS GIVE TRUCKREQS TILL TOMORROW EVENING TO RESPOND & THEN IT'S YOURS. JOHN

truckresq · 10-14-2003, 12:21 AM

But looking for the Truck Megashifter.... You can sell it to dinnut.

You DO have one of everything don't you???

junkyardjohn · 10-14-2003, 12:30 AM

ONE OF EVERYTHING?? WELL ALMOST..... BUT THERES STILL SOME STUFF I NEED. LOL

(CAN YOU SAY PACKRAT??

)

truckresq · 10-14-2003, 01:30 AM

I still have to make a trip up there to get some stuff I KNOW you have that I need....Tailgate

70c10 · 10-14-2003, 07:41 AM

John, what is the difference between Megashifter (I have this in my truck) and the Star shifter?. Just curious.......Jim

junkyardjohn · 10-14-2003, 10:03 AM

I BELIEVE THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO IS THE HEIGHT OF THE BASE, & SHIFTER MECHANISM. I THINK THE LIGHT TRUCK MEGASHIFTER IS ABOUT 2 1/2" OR 3" TALLER.

junkyardjohn · 10-14-2003, 04:19 PM

IT'S UP TO YOU DINNUT

RON WOODGEARD · 10-14-2003, 05:06 PM

I have the truck MegaShifter in my truck, I like the shifting characteristics of the Star shifter MUCH better, Maybe just an opinion, but I do not like The Megashifter. I do not like the "Ratcheting" system of the Megashifter At all.

If I were going to stay with an automatic, I would combine the mounting brackets, and case from the Megashifter and the Shifting body of the Star to make one great shifter.

When I get the 4-spd. in my truck, I'll have mine to sell, But that is going to be probably next summer.

Ron

truckresq · 10-14-2003, 05:34 PM

Ron, If nothing comes up sooner, I will keep u in mind

RON WOODGEARD · 10-14-2003, 06:07 PM

Sounds good John,

I bought mine used, but the guy didn't have it in for any time at all, Still was in the box. I put it in my truck about three months ago,and It hasn't been driven but three blocks, just to do it. I need to get my front end aligned after the lowering job, before I can put it on the road.

I already have the 4 spd. and the linkage pieces for the change. I still need to buy a pressure plate, disk, and shifter before I can proceed with the conversion. But of course I want to leave my truck drivable until then.

wait. is this shifter really short? what

junkyardjohn · 10-14-2003, 11:18 PM

(EMAIL FROM DINNUT)
i want it.
kinda feel bad about saying this. but id have bad experiences and i dont really truck people over the internet? have you delt with selling things to other members before?
SO I GUESS IT'S STILL UP FOR SALE. IT'S FUNNY... I DIDN'T REALLY THINK ABOUT SELLING IT, & JUST OFFERED IT TO HELP OUT A MEMBER. OH WELL IF NO ONE NEEDS IT, I GUESS I'LL JUST PUT IT BACK ON THE SHELF IN THE GARAGE FOR A FUTURE PROJECT. IT'S NOT EATING OR SH!TTING. LOL

70c10 · 10-15-2003, 07:30 AM

John, I'm missing something here. It's still early in the morning,lol.

bouncytruck · 10-15-2003, 11:28 AM

I have a mega shifter I'd trade for a auto column and 4x4 auto linkages. I'd rather have the shifter up on the column again.

RON WOODGEARD · 10-15-2003, 04:57 PM

What's the difference in the linkage between the 2X4 and 4X4 ??

I think I still have everything from my changeover, I'll have to look.

wdz28ss · 10-15-2003, 09:18 PM

truckresq....are you still looking? If you are I have a mega****fter that was in my truck and I put in a auto column a while back....It's not perfect, the handle is loose. $30 + shipping?

truckresq · 10-15-2003, 09:53 PM

Is it the correct one? Part number #80680. The Truck Megashifter. I take it you dont like it. Whats loose the mechanics of the shifter or just the "T" handle?

wdz28ss · 10-15-2003, 10:15 PM

The handle is loose...I have no idea on the part # as it was in my truck when i bought it....it looks like the one you pic....might be the shorter one though....I liked it, but my truck isnt a racer and I like the clean stock look....The shifter is out at the shop, Tomorrow i'll take a look at it and take a snap shot of it too if you'd like.

truckresq · 10-15-2003, 10:42 PM

Im interested. See if you can get me a picture. Can you get me all the attaching parts also? Cables and/or linkage to the transmission

wdz28ss · 10-15-2003, 10:45 PM
