Mounted the White Lightning shifter in the rear position and took the car out for about 30 mile drive.
This was the result.
Doesn't leak nearly as much in the rear position, I'm guessing 70% less, but this would add up after 500 miles. The Hurst Blackjack would probably leak 70+% less than this when rear mounted or maybe not at all?
Also shot a short video while driving.
You can see the trans venting through the shifter which makes me wonder how effective the factory vent is. If the vent line isn't baffled could it be getting enough oil thrown on it to partially obstruct its function?
It appears this shifter design for the T56 Magnum needs some type of seal.
On a positive note the rear mount position puts the shifter closer to the wheel.
