Shift With Confidence

The BAKER Truss Style Shift Lever, an innovative upgrade to the stock shifter design known for its frequent failures. Stock transmission shift levers often suffer from stripped splines or a broken cross section, leading to frustrating and costly issues. We have tackled these problems head-on with a comprehensive redesign.

Crafted from 303L Stainless Steel using investment casting, the Truss Style Shift Lever features a thicker cross section that provides superior strength and durability in all directions compared to the stock version. This enhanced design ensures a longer lifespan and increased reliability. The broached splines are engineered to resist stripping, a common flaw in standard shifters.

In addition to its robust construction, the Truss Style Shift Lever comes show-polished, adding a touch of elegance to its rugged performance. The kit also includes a polished stainless steel pinch bolt, ensuring every component of the lever is as resilient and refined as the rest.

Upgrade to the Truss Style Shift Lever and experience a shift in quality and durability that outperforms the rest!
