What is everyone using as a good upgrade to the tremec shifter on the t56 magnum?

shoot I am just happy to be know the trans isn't the next weakest link since the magnum swap. I have not been unhappy enough to worry about it, especially since I am pretty sure I would have to drop the trans to swap them. There is no room above it that is for sure....

There are a few brands, hanlon motorsports, bowler, and the s1 which is almost 2 grand.

I actually forgot that I had one ordered from 3 pedals just because it was supposed to have a lower base than the stock shifter, and I was having issues with mine hitting the trans tunnel. They said it would be two weeks, and then 3 months later(after telling me 3 more times it would be 2 weeks) I cancelled the order and the one I had machined to allow for low profile screws to counter sink into the base so they were flush with the top. It gave me just enough room.

This one, Don't order it!
At least not from them, and as far as I know they are the only ones that make a low profile shifter

Thank you! I posted in the tremec Facebook group and they weren't even brought up. The ones that were were very vague on the descriptions with the exception of the s1. They all look just like the stock tremecThis one, Don't order it!

The way I see it, the T56 Magnum has internal stops and a pretty good (albeit simple) shifter out of the box. It’s not preloaded to “hit second” and won’t win you style point but it works.
Spend that money elsewhere.

About everything is done on this car. Looking more for the preloaded to hit 3rd. But if there isn't an upgrade then I'm stuck.
Good luck! I’m partial to Bowler parts, I have their wiring for my transmission, but have no experience with their shifters.

Seems like trans fluid leaking out aftermarket shifters is very common. But hell idk if I want to be sure to bang 3rd gear and have a oil spot under car or keep my floor and underbody clean and let it ride.

its sliding into 6th that still feels almost wrong to me.
Conversely, I catch myself trying to put the S197 into 6th all the time.
