Get Your Shifter Just Right with a Lokar AxiShift Shifter Adapter

You know when something just doesn’t feel like it ought to? If that something is the shifter on your Tremec manual transmission, get like Goldilocks and make it ‘just right’ with a Lokar AxiShift Shifter Adapter. It lets you orient the shift lever exactly where you want for smooth, positive gear changes. That makes it perfect for transmission swaps in street rods and older vehicles where the shifter position is often less than ideal.

The AxiShift bolts to the transmission shifter stub. The shift lever bolts to a stub on the AxiShift attached to a pivot ball assembly that provides 360 degrees of rotation and 15 degrees of tilt in any direction. Just plant yourself in the driver’s seat, move the shifter around until it’s exactly where you want it, then lock it in place. The AxiShift also gives you the option of placing the shift lever forward of or behind the shifter stub. The instructions show you how the whole shebang works.

If you want that extra bit of adjustment, take a look at the AxiShift Pro. It replaces the transmission shifter stub and ball joint assembly; in addition to the rotation and tilt adjustments of the standard AxiShift, the Pro version allows you to center the shift lever or place it in one of four offset positions.

The Lokar AxiShift and AxiShift Pro fit Tremec TKO 500/600/TKX five-speed transmissions and T56 Magnum six-speed transmissions. The AxiShift will also fit any manual transmission that has a standard 7/8-inch center-to-center mounting dimension. This Modern Rodder Magazine article shows you how to install either.
