Gennie vs Lokar what's your preference?

Ok my son is the General Manager at Gennie Shifter, but....

We put alot of cars togeater over the years. I bought a 40 Coupe project car once that came with a Lokar so I used it.

Oh man did it make the buzzing noise that everyone complains about.

So here is what did to quiet it down. Remove the ****on in the shift knob and you see there is a nylon ring that is supposed to keep the ****on from rattling in the knob.

Replace that with a O-Ring and lube it up real good, presto no more buzzing.

Hope this helps.

 

I use a Gennie in eveverything I build.

 

I bought my Lokar shifter and had it for about eight or nine years before I had my truck drivable. I live out in the country so I would take the old girl out for TEST drives..chuckle. Well after every second or so test drive I would have to tighten the nut at the bottom of the shifter. I did this about four of five times. Then the shifter did the wet noodle thing. Not accptable. I thought what the hell the shifter has maybe 100 miles on it. I emailed Lokar since I bought it from the factoy. Told them the storey. They emailed me back and asked me to phone them at such and such number. I had told them in the email that I didn't have a bill of sale but did have the packing slip that was sent with the shifter. I had given them the name on the packing slip. I phoned and the guy says to me to send the shifter back to them and they would see what they could do. Two weeks later a new shifter arrives at my door prepaid. Thats what I call standing behind your product. I have had no rattling issues. Thanks for the tips on how to fix them if they do occur. I think I'd buy another Lokar..cause they looked after me.

Up!!

 

20'' and were a gennie dealer

 

I have both. And they are both great for each application. I have the swan neck on the '51 and that works/looks great. I have the lokar on the '67, and that too looks and works great. As far as install, they both went in without a problem.

 

Ok!! Thanks!!
