Tail Mount Shifters
Why Choose a Tail Mount Shifter?
- The Tail Mount Shifter works well in an application that requires the Shifter to be mounted below the floor directly to the transmission, and very little adjustment is required for Shifter placement
- Positive lock-out in Park and Neutral for safety
- You require the Shifter to be mounted directly above the tail shaft, but the tunnel is too narrow for the Floor Mount Shifter
- Works well with applications such as 1932 Fords
What's Included
When you purchase a Tail Mount Shifter, everything you need for a secure and straightforward installation is included. Each kit comes with the necessary mounting hardware, a neutral safety switch, and detailed installation instructions. You’ll also choose your preferred shifter lever and knob combination, ensuring a custom fit and look for your build.
Applications
Our Tail Mount Shifter is compatible with a wide range of automatic transmissions from GM, Ford, and Chrysler. This includes the TH350, TH400, 700R-4, 4L60, 4L60E, 4L80E, 45RFE, 518, 727, 904, AOD, C4, C6, FMX, and 4R70W/AODE. Designed to mount directly to the transmission Tail, it ensures a secure, precise installation.
Safety
The shifter is designed with safety features to help prevent accidental gear engagement and unintended vehicle movement. A positive lock-out mechanism in Park and Neutral ensures that the shifter cannot be moved into Reverse or Park from Neutral or a forward gear unless the push button on the knob is deliberately pressed. Additionally, a properly wired and adjusted neutral safety switch prevents the vehicle from starting in any gear other than Park or Neutral, adding an extra layer of protection during ignition.
Various Lever Options
Customize your Tail Mount Shifter with a variety of lever options to suit your style and driving position. Choose from straight, single bend, double bend, or bench bend levers—each crafted from high-quality mild steel and available in black Cerakote or chrome plated finishes. Lever lengths range from 4", 6", 8", 10", 12", and 16". This allows you to position the shifter knob exactly where you need it.
Various Knob Options
When you purchase a Lokar Tail Mount Shifter, you can configure it any way you wish by choosing from a wide array of shift knobs to suit your individual taste. Lokar has always been known for their exclusive lock-out pushbutton shifters for safety and convenience, and that trend continues on with the Tail Mount Shifter. You can choose from any of our push-button shifter knobs, and most are available in polished, brushed, or black finishes—the choice is yours.
Prefer a more classic look? We also offer a Knob Adapter that allows you to use a traditional knob without the push button, as well as Muscle Car Knob Adapters that let you install vintage-style shift knobs while maintaining compatibility with the Tail Mount Shifter system.
