Little back story, i have a t56 swap in my lightning. Yes this is the gm drive train section but other sections are dead.

I currently am using a b&m srt10 ram shifter. Works fine. I know it's outdated so im seeing what others are using.

Id assume any shifter for a t56 will work.

My t56 is currently at Tick performance getting their magic on it so im preparing for when she gets back home. She will be abused.

 

I used an MGW shifter, it has nice short shifts which was perfect with the longer shifter you usually need for a truck. I pulled it out and swapped in a 4L80E, PM me if you're interested in the shifter. It has the upgraded return springs as well.

 

mgw for me to

 

MGW seems to keep a lot of guys happy, cant go wrong with MGW.

 

Can someone with an MGW shifter make a video showing the throw of it at the shift **** and a few inches down? I wan to see if will work with my center console set up. This is what i have.

and here we flipped the 2nd half of the lever so the shifter was strait and correct

Thanks. funnest mod ever. Truck got way too boring before with the auto. Too bad manual transmissions hate the weight of our trucks.

 

That is awesome.
Do you have a build thread?

 

man, I'd love a T56.

 

yeah but it was long and dragged out. I'm still slowly fixing half ***'ed stuff i did and cheaped out on. my trans is currently at Tick to get fixed. Been down since august.
