Shifter for 350/350 swapped 72

[autobon7]

“Rescued” a 72 from a guy a couple years ago and haven’t had the chance to do much with it until now. Has a TH350 transmission but a seriously crappy gear selector. As best I can tell it’s installed properly/adjusted but probably wore out. Anything out there reasonably priced that would work better? Would love to have a column shifter but seeing the price on them certainly excludes me from that option.

Also by B&M. Works good--solid engagement ratchet shifter and should just swap in.

Just drive on down to Atlanta, pick this up, and go back to a Toyota manual transmission transmission! #easybutton

How long have you been running it? Looks like a clean setup.

At least 25 years with no problems. It's a t-handle. Pull up and back to go into gear. The th350 adapter brings the t-case back a couple inches so I had to modify the cover to move the t-case shifter back a bit. Obviously the B&M shifter can go anywhere as long as the control cable reaches, so I just located it to look normal and be within easy reach.

You might want to take a look at what Lokar offers.

Here is a thread discussing the subject and has an image of what the installed shifter will look like.
