C4 Floor shifter - looking at options

[kholding]

Here is the Winters shifter with no console...

This is the one I'm probably going to get:

Is there a bezel for this? From the pictures it looks like there is no way to tell what position you're in. Looks like a manual shifter to me.

I'm looking for a c4 shifter as well.

Subscribing, am thinking about doing this some day.

The LOKAR shifter from Duff is a 12" lever because that is what Duff's found to best fit EB. Comfortable to reach, clears a tuffy box etc. Cool thing about a Lokar shifter is you can start with a 12" and if it is too long you have the option of down sizing to a 10", 8", or 6" lever. This swap can be done without removing the shifter.

PCF_Mark be patient rumor on the street is that the Back Up light kit is coming soon. Lokar says if you have their LED indicator(either dash or boot style) you can run back up lights off of it. You can view these on DuffTuff.com

Their is a boot w/bezel or a dash mount bezel available. When you are actually shifting the Lokar shifter you can easily feel the detents and know what gear you are in.

X2 with the detent I have no problem selecting gears.

They are not that easy. See my post here:

Was the only issue the bracket? I read that other thread and it sounds like you were able to fabricate a fix. How hard was that to do? I guess I'm just trying to figure out if it's so hard it's not worth the shifter kit at all and I should go another route.

If you have any pics of what you did to make it work that would be awesome.

Thanks!

I have the Winter's with this housing and love it:

Would that fit with a twin stick set up?

If you you have fabrication skills it should be no problem. I don't so I had a guy do it. Unfortunately I don't have any pics and I'm in the process of moving. The Bronco is at the new house and I'm still at the old house for another week and a half. I could try to get a pic in a couple of weeks.

no worries. i know how stressful moving can be! if you have time and remember the pics in a couple weeks awesome, but don't worry about it.

all-in-all are you happy with the shifter though? now that it's installed correctly?

It definitely would, I keep it between the seats however so no console for me. I like the wider housing because I plan to add switches for interior lighting amongst other things.

I'm very happy with it. Very solid and easy to shift.
