T56 Magnum White Lightning Shifter - update on the way

[carbuff]

I just spoke to American Powertrain regarding the White Lightning shifter, and specifically asked them about leaking issues. I was talking to Jason in tech support, and he was quick to acknowledge that there is a leaking issue on the original design, but they have a new base design being machined right now which has a lip on the base to use a seal to stop the leaks. My guess would be that they are going to use something like the original Tremec seal, but I didn't ask for sure.

He said that they are expecting these to be ready within about a week. I didn't order one yet, I may try out the stock Tremec shifter first. But for those of you who have had problems in the past, maybe there is finally a solution.

On a related note, I recall reading that Hurst has updated the Blackjack similarly. Does anyone have experience with this updated version to know if the leak issues have been resolved? I'm trying to line up the shifter I want to use for TOW.
