i want to replace the shifter with a Lokar unit but I’m not sure which part number is the best. Anyone have a similar set up. Will I need to clearance.l?Any advice would be great. I think cable style is the only style that will fit. Thank you

You would want a floor mount, cable shift unit if you are doing a Lokar. The floor mount allows you to put it anywhere to line up with a console if necessary.

I have installed probably a 100 Lokar shifters, great product, but for muscle cars with an existing shifter Shiftworks is my go to. Their stuff just works and is application specific.

But, on Lokar, they do have different lengths, and most of the time I have used 8" or 10" sticks.

I also used Shift works and Lokar. Both worked well.
On the Lokar if you have a somewhat straight shot from the shifter arm to the trans arm you could use the rod type Lokar and save a few bucks over the cable type.
My 98 Wrangler with a LS6/4l60E combo I had to use the Lokar cable style. It's been 14 years with zero issues. My current project 80 Camaro LS3/4L60E combo I used a Lokar rod type and it's been fine.
