Floor shifter

[clubcoupe57]

Hi Gentlemen, I am thinling about putting a floor shifter in my 57 and it is a stock ford-a-matic, the lomar shifter I thought about buying ia for a c-4, my question is are the trannys the same? Thanks, Mike[img]

No, they are not the same

MIKE, AS WOODY SAID THE SHIFTERS ARE NOT THE SAME. BUT CALL LOKAR AND TALK TO A SALES REP. I HAD A LONG TALK WITH THE SALES REP. AT BACK TO THE 50'S LAST YEAR , AND THEY WERE LOOKING AT MORE FORD STUFF TO BUILD. THEY NOW HAVE THE FLEXABULE BRAIDED DIP STICK FOR THE Y-BLOCK. HOPE THIS HELPS TOM

I would think that the shifter from a early mustang would fit. I just thinking out loud, I'm sure someone here can tell you if it will work.

You might have to work out the travel issue, the early FOM has 5 "positions" and the later trans have 6.  Maybe a powerglide shifter would work, they have 5.  Please forgive me for saying that word.

I found one on Epay a couple of yrs ago, it was a universal kit for Ford-O-matic and Cruize-O-matic. It works good for quality of any aftermarket parts made in that time frame.
