What type shifters are you guys running? I am puting in 350 and want some ideas.

B&M Pro-Stick shifter works well

prostick for sure.

Winters or Art Carr are the best I have found. Search Google for them. Matt

Art Carr

Who has good deals on the art carr shifters and does any one have any pics of them mounted. i will probably put one in a yj

You can buy them from Art Carr directly. Another name for them is Winters shifters. Two different names same shifter. The mounting is simple the come with their own housing.

Using a "lokar". It's okay

i just put in a b&m hammer shifter. its pretty nice i like the ratchet setup. havent run the jeep yet im still gettin the motor installed.

i run a lokar and i really like it.

B&M Pro stick with modified gates and the reverse lockout removed.

i like it a LOT better this way :flipoff2:

stock shifter that came with the donor! :D

sweeet.. i am in the market right now for a shifter for my TF727.. and the only experience i have is with the b&m mega shifter.. and that thing sucked ass... i like the design of the art carr.. but damn.. that thing is pricey for a shifter..
keep these opinions coming..

and doc.. i like what you did with that shifter...

I got a killer deal on it with the aluminum cover and it is a nicely built piece "IF" you drag race :D that reverse lockout is not my idea of fun when you arer trying to rock yourself out of a stuck. So i got rid of the fawker :flipoff2: I realy like the way the gates work now.

if i had the cash i would get the Art Carr but i am a cheap bastid,the modified Pro-Stick fit my wallet better.

Tell him Matt with pirate4x4.com sent you and you will get 10% off. I will be doing a writeup on one as soon as the bastard at Sony send my broken POS laptop back with the install pics.

I put one on my 4runner that has a 700R4. This is the smoothest, easiest to use shifter I have EVER had. I will buy nothing else.

Lokar, and I love it. How soon do you need it, I may be selling mine soon. (Getting a different tranny.)

I've got the B&M Hammer shifter....love it.
specially when slapin gears in the mud.

My bro has an Art Carr. BAD_AZZ Shifter.

I have the B&M bandit in my CJ. Also good. very simple and all billet. I would recommend it as well.

Just talked to the guy with art carr and got a price from him sounds good. does anyone else have any opinones before i order one. Also would anbody happen to have one they want to sell? I am also looking for a 350 core or built. By the way thanks for the deal.

Art Carr, I havent used it yet but it looks good:flipoff2:

Anyone use the Hurst Quarterstick or Prostick?

May I ask what it was?

I'm looking for one too. Anyone see if we can get a deal on the Art Carr shifter? I saw above 10% off, but at around $250, that's only $25.. Not complaining (much), but maybe some dealer can hook us all up?????
Anyone??

I'll get flamed for this, I always do.... but I know several guys who run the B&M unimatic and they love it. Less than $100.

Hate to miss a chance at a flame. :p

I removed a perfectly good B&M and installed the Art Carr. You get what you pay for and the B&M sent me into fits of rage every time I tried to change gears fast.

Rage during wheeling=broken parts
broken parts=$$$ spent :D

The Art Carr is a very nice shifter, and yes you do get what you pay for. I run a B&M Sport shifter and have been happy with it, much better than the Unimatic I had before that.

I'm looking for a shifter too. Whats a good shifter for under 100 bux? typical 3 spd auto...

not too many people like them, but its cheap!

I can't say what's a good one, but I'll second the idea that the MegaShifter is NOT what you want. The ratchet action would be fine if it worked well, but mine never did. Almost like the detents in the shifter didn't line up with the detents in the trans. I hated it.

damn, i was thinking about getting a megashifter for my 700r4... thanks for the heads up. Any other recommendations other than the $pendy art carr? Only real criteria is that it needs to be cable operated and not super spendy. :D

j

Well what types of shifters are there?

rachet? nonrachet? whats the diff?

I'm not running a kickdown cable so i'd like to shift somewhat quickly...

Just got an E-mail from Rich. He says that he will now be taking 20% off the shifters if they mention Pirate 4x4!!! That brings the shifters from $285.00 down to $228.00. :eek: :D

Art Carr here...I have three of them... if ya own and use one ya will NEVER go back...worth every $$$ spent and then some. One of them is pushing 15 yr old or damn close to it.... STILL 100%

Does that include the cable?

Includes the shifter with housing, 5ft cable & all the linkage to connect to your transmission.

Old post but for anyone that cares Rich does not work there any more....deal still stands though :D
