I didn't even know they made shifters until I saw it at their shop (was picking up my clutch). I guess it's been out for little while but I was clueless about it. I was just getting ready to buy a Pro 5.0 and got this instead. I am leaving the shifter handle bare steel and just tossing on some matte clear :)

It's sweet and very flexable since you can mount in either location and there are various offsets available.

There are also three handle shape to fit your need and even they can be positioned in different ways.

Almost a shame to put a boot on it.. lol

is the cost comparable to Pro 5.0? looks nice and I like the handle options

That would be nice if the engine was set back.

Why does that tranny off two shifter locations?

I've been looking at those, but info is hard to find.

Do you have a price on one? I'd like to put in on my t-56 to move the shifter a little forward...

Hey Steve,


Do have the part numbers for the shifter and handles? McLeod is such a royal pain in the butt to get through to for any info.


Thanks!

So did McLeod ever make these shifters?

I don't see anything on their website about them.

Not sure what specific shifter for the T56 you were looking for but when McLeod sold to B&M they were going to stop making. So Red Roberts (Former owner of McLeod) Bought that product line back from them. He started a company called Driveline Components. His phone number is 714 651-0829. I believe it is just him working there and the shifters are built to order.

So far as I know, when B&M acquired McLeod, they didn't acquire/want the shifter line, so Red kept it. I think he's selling the shifters, but you'll have to get a contact number for him. You may be able to get a number for him from the McLeod tech line.
