B&M street rod shifter

Any one used the b&m street rod shifter?
got any reports good or bad?

 

We have one in my grandson's 38 Chevy truck.It's a very nice piece
and well worth the money.No problem's in 3 years

 

I've used 2. Very nice. Easy install. Good solid shift

 

How does it mount?

 

Bumping this guys thread i found while searching.... anyone else use one? I want a well made shifter for my th350 that i can use my "saxman" knob on and not have to mess with a button... opinions?

 

Looks like the shifting handle is removable. True? If so you might could make a longer swan type handle?

 

Yes ,the knob can unscrew. As I have stated it is a very nice
shifter.

 

BTW the handle does come off. I made a new handle but much taller
for my grandsons 350 and used the B&M handle on my shop press !!!!

 

I've got one in my '46 with custom handle. Works good for the money...

 

I have one and so far I am very happy with it. I would recommend it.

As stated above:
The top ball unscrews.

The shaft (handle) portion unbolts at the bottom where you see the 2 black holes that are perpendicular to one another. You can adjust the angle of the handle
(Forward, centered, back)

I am having a different handle machined. The stock one is fine but I want one with speed holes so a friend of mine is hooking me up with one.

But yes, I would buy one again! WAAYYYY better than that Lokar shit!!!

 

Had one in a 59 Apache 454/TH400 - worked perfectly and looked great. Being able to use another knob is a major plus....we all like different stuff.

 

Thanks for the responses... no trying to start a mess, but is B&M still made in the U.S.A?

 

What do you know about the Gennie shifters sold out of AU? I hear they are made in Asia.

 

Looks like it mounts on top of the transmission like the lokars and gennies

 

great shifter, i run one in the 38 chev coupe, the knob comes off and can be changed very easy. hard to see in the pic but just a white ball makes it look very classy.

 

Coooool. I've wondered about these myself

 

Arnt they basically the same set-up?

 

Do they rattle like a coffee can full of nickles like my high dollar Lokar?

 

I used an 'economy' B&M shifter on my bud's F100 (Ford C6 trans) and it was a spring side-loaded type with detents for every range. Cable linked, easy adjustment, and very positive. No rattles.
Would have been complicated to fabricate...cost was $130? (or so...)
He got it from a large speed shop in Lodi, CA.

But I've never seen it advertised.
