Chrome Manual Shift Lever Lokar 16in Single Bend Carbon Steel MSL6B

Description

Product Overview

The Lokar 16in Chrome Manual Shift Lever is a purpose‑built performance component designed for drivers who demand precise, reliable gear changes in high‑performance applications. Constructed from low carbon steel, the lever offers a balance of strength and lightweight feel, while the chrome plating provides a corrosion‑resistant surface that maintains its shine even under the most demanding track conditions. The single‑bend geometry reduces the distance the driver must travel to engage each gear, resulting in faster, more accurate shifts. Ambidextrous hand orientation means the lever can be installed on either the left or right side of the transmission, making it a versatile upgrade for a wide range of vehicle setups. The lever is engineered to fit Tremec and Borg Warner T5, T45, and T56 transmission families, ensuring a direct, secure fit without the need for additional adapters. With a center‑to‑center spacing of 0.88 inches, the lever aligns perfectly with standard shifter housings, delivering a seamless integration that feels like a natural extension of the vehicle’s drivetrain.

Usage

Designed for both street and track environments, this shift lever excels in any scenario where rapid, accurate gear changes are essential. On the race track, drivers benefit from the reduced shift travel and the tactile feedback provided by the alloy steel handle, allowing for consistent lap times and improved vehicle control. For street enthusiasts, the lever adds a premium aesthetic upgrade while maintaining everyday durability, making it suitable for daily driving, spirited weekend runs, and autocross events. The lever’s low‑profile design does not interfere with cabin ergonomics, and its ambidextrous capability means it can be installed on vehicles with either left‑hand or right‑hand drive configurations. Whether paired with a lightweight sports car, a modified muscle car, or a custom‑built hot rod, the Lokar lever delivers a performance edge that translates to smoother acceleration, quicker downshifts, and a more engaging driving experience.
