    I'm running a 200r4 and need a shifter.
    What on-expensive options are out there for this ******?
    I like the Gennie shifters, but haven't seen one specificly for the 200r4.
    Who deals the stuff?

    I'm running a Lokar on mine but I am sure that Gennie has them also. Go online and look.

    Lokar makes a bunch of different styles and lengths. I'm sure Gennie would do one as well. The aftermarket shifters I sell say the 700R4 and the 2004R take the same shifter. (but they are street/strip and cable-operated...)

    Gennie doesn't make one yet but they said they are working on it. I bought an old Gennie C6 shifter at a swap meet and I'm going to make it work.:)

    BobK,
    I didn't know you were runing a 200r4.

    So is it safe to say that I can use one from a 700r4 on my 200r4?

    Gennie doesnt make a specific 200r4 model.

    You can use the gennie 700r4 on the 200r4, you will have to modify the bracket to make it work.

    As I recall the only "Modification" we had to preform was puting a couple of spacers under the bracket to keep it stable.

    Bob I guess you were luckier than me.

    Mine wouldnt stay put with just washers. HAd to sections the braket to mke it narrower.

    Ben @ Gennie said some peoople get away with a few spacer other have to bend em or modify the bracket to make it work.

    Gambino Kustoms, listed in the HAMB O DEX.

    I called Gennie and they said they would have a shifter for a 200R4 by September 06.
