TKO500/600 Shift Lever 16in Aluminum chrome

The TKO500/600 Shift Lever 16in Aluminum Chrome by Lokar represents the gold standard in custom transmission controls for enthusiasts building high-performance manual shift systems. Designed for TKO500 and TKO600 transmissions, this shift lever serves as the primary mechanical interface between driver input and gear selection, making it essential for any serious street rod, drag car, or custom hot rod project. Whether you're restoring a classic muscle car or engineering a modern restomod, a precision-engineered shift lever directly impacts shift quality, driver feel, and overall drivetrain reliability.

This Lokar shifter combines aircraft-grade aluminum construction with polished chrome plating to deliver both durability and show-quality aesthetics under the hood. The 16-inch length provides optimal leverage and mechanical advantage for smooth, positive gear engagement, while the reduced reciprocating mass minimizes drivetrain shock during aggressive shifts. Chrome plating not only resists corrosion in engine bay environments but also reflects heat away from mechanical linkage components, preserving shifter longevity and maintaining precise engagement tolerances even during extended track sessions or high-performance driving.

This shifter is the ideal upgrade for builders working with Tremec TKO five- or six-speed manual transmissions, the industry standard for modern restomod platforms and high-horsepower street applications. Mechanics and fabricators rely on Lokar's precision machining and tight tolerances to eliminate shifter slop and reduce the felt shift effort at the pedal interface. Installation requires basic mechanical knowledge and integration with existing linkage geometry; proper alignment ensures repeatable shift accuracy across all gears. The compact 0.75-inch diameter shaft accommodates standard shifter boots and console configurations used in most hot rod and custom automotive builds.
