What's the preferred floor shifter for a 6r80?

Manual use of sport mode wanted.

Quick shifting from forward to reverse is needed.

Anyone using the Lokar SportShift? https://www.lokar.com/assets/instructions/INS0169-Electronic-Sport-Mode-Shifter.pdf


... anybody help me out with an exact length from the bellhousing to the Atlas t-case flange or center of ujoint measurement? Close to 40" but I would like exact if possible.

thanks

I tried both... strange how so many tech builds and 100% tech questions are on this part of the forum...

Thanks tho and I did get my question answered by having a guy measure from frame to edge of oil pan... looks like I'm going with my 7th different kind of transmission in my same Bronco. 10 spd doesn't appeal because of limitations in manually shifting through the gears

If someone could put together a Winters shifter setup for the 6R80, it would be high on the list for my next transmission!

I will attempt to call Lokar again next week and see if the "new" rumored model will have any kind of mounting flexibility. The current model doesn't allow much, especially when compared to the Winters!
