    Hey, Gents ~

    I have a 1957 Caddy mild custom with the stock Controlled Coupling Hydra-Matic 315 transmission (AKA "Turbo Hydramatic Jetaway")

    I'm interested in installing a Lokar floor shifter with a tall handle and one of those cool Top Hat Wolf or Frankenstein Twisted Shifterz knobs

    Has anyone used a Lokar shifter with a P-N-D-L-R shift pattern transmission?

    OPGI says this one will work:

    If anyone has installed that one and can share their experience with it, I'd sure appreciate it!

    Also looking for helpful suggestions on other potential options and any tips on installation

    Thanks in advance! 20200612-Caddy-10.jpg
