Anyone using Lokar's wild 32" shifter? Just wondering if there is any drawbacks? I want to put one in my car and like the look.

Posted by grant6s  -  04/28/2008 08:41 PM I had one in my car but the cam had a lope to it an made the stick shake too much. Changed to a shorter one, didn't shake as much. grant6s [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Washington, New Jersey   Posted by Jaybird  -  04/28/2008 09:19 PM Stick shake is a problem, especially with a heavy custom knob on top. Frequency vibes on the highway have the same effect.......so you just have to ride around looking cool with your hand on the ape hanger!

Course, Model A's are pretty narrow. Swaped it for a shorter one and that works fine. 29robert [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] La Verne, California Charter Member since November 2004   Posted by 31tudor  -  04/29/2008 12:37 PM Hey Grant, wanna sell the long shifter? My dad has a 16" shifter in his roadster and wants the long stick. I'd guess you have the cable and detent that go with it, right?
