10R80 Floor Shifter Suggestions

[Colo77Bronco]

What are you all using for floor shifters for 10R80? Figured it would be a easy search but there are no posts regarding it. I assumed Lokar for 6R80 would work but cannot find a definite answer.

Fat fender makes an arm for the 6R and 10R to use a column shifter. I would reach out to Lokar about their shifter directly. I have a feeling it won’t work for some reason. Possibly just the manual shifting though.

So far it has been straight forward. I am buying complete Gen 3 Coyote and 10R80 from PowerbytheHour with the Ford Racing control pack. PBH was able to easily beat anyone elses price for the crate engine and tranny. The Ford Racing control pack will handle all of the communication, just need a shifter now. Advance adapters is shipping my atlas and adapter for the 10r80 now.

Other things I bought. I bought the accessory drive from Tom's because with Black Friday Pricing PBH (Power by the Hour) could not touch it even though it is their kit. Headers from KMF. BC Broncos motor mounts because they are slightly lower than Tom's. MMR Oil Filter relocation kit. PBH for the correct starter for the 10R80.

Lookar says they are a few months out from having a shifter they will say works with 10R80. I was able to confirm that the Lokar 6R80 will work with the 10R80 if you use Power by the Hour or Fat Fender Garage shifter liver on the transmission side. That said, it would be nice if they release one they know works. It looks like a lot of people with F150s swap from Column shift to Floor shift while updating the center console in their trucks. Looks like you could just get an f150 shifter on eBay and then a shifter cable and make it work if you could fab something around it to make it look nice.

I have heard the same from Lokar, they are working on the 10R shifter but no eta, before SEMA last year was the last time I had talked to Lokar about it so they have been in development for some time. I also was told the 6R would probably work. At FFG we have been using mustang and F150 shifters that we purchase from LKQ to get the job done if the customer wants a floor shifter. Column shift is "simpler" running our shift lever and Lokar kit if you have a flaming river or possibly other aftermarket column shift column.

Do you have any pictures of the finishes you put around the f150 shifters?

Both trucks are still in the design phase for center consoles and we usually design them digitally and 3d print them if they aren't simple. So nothing that would help get you were you wanted. I would suggest using the stock F150 shifter bezel that comes in the center console, usually they have a bezel with a trim ring that snaps in. That would be the easiest way to retrofit one without it looking unfinished.

I'd love to know where you were able to confirm this. I want to do the same thing I spoke with Lokar recently and they won't confirm the 6R80 shifter will work with the 10R80. I also spoke with Spencer at Fat Fender, They can't say for sure either.

On a different note, I've been wondering if the '22 Ford Expedition rotary shifter would work, I've gotten nowhere there either.

As a Ford technician the best thing I can say about the 10R80 is to use a 6R80 instead, they're finally getting one of bigger issues with the 10R80 taken care of but it's taken Ford years to get that done.

There is a YouTube video of the Lokar shifter for 6r80 working on a 10r80 with the fat fender arm on the transmission side. Texas Speed Shop also confirmed it works. I am going to keep it simple and functional and just use an F150 floor shifter and build a console around it.

When you finish, can you show me what the f150 shifter and console looks like in the bronco. Very curious as we are trying to do the same with a 2021 f150 10r80 transmission. the transfer case, shifting, everything is all electric and we will be putting it in a 1974 bronco

Update for the thread: found a shifter being used for 10r80 in this youtube video, They used a ford mustang shifter and it worked fine for them

Hope this helps
