hello I am building a pro touring 2nd gen trans am. I have a t56 close ratio magnum transmission I have been told I want a white lightning shifter will it make a lot of difference over the standard shifter. when done I will be using the trans am as a fast road machine and the odd 14/mile . cheers kev

You ask a dozen people the best shifter and you will get a dozen different opinions. Myself, I have been waiting to replace my stock T56 Magnum shifter with the S1 sequential shifter once it is released.

I have the T56 Magnum close ratio trans and I went with the white lightning shifter right out of the box. I love it! It's so crisp and easy to shift...Make sure you align the bell housing parallelism and concentricity so that it is within tolerance or better. I think a lot of guys having shift issues is because they didn't align the bell housing. Mine shifts so smooth, it almost feels like it shifts on its own. No issues at all 2-3 shifts, high rams etc....now my neighbor has a 5 speed tremec and he didn't upgrade the shifter and it is REALLY sloppy. Almost as sloppy as my old Muncie trans. Not sure if that's because of the shifter or what, but I was really surprised to see that. I would highly recommend the white lightning though! WELL worth the money! You can adjust the return tension of the shifter lever too which is nice.

thanks for the replies brian you say align the bell housing I have the quicktime . how do you align I thought they could only fit one way with the locating dowels . I hope I am not being stupid . I do like that sequential shifter do you know when its out and the price. cheers kev
