Default T56 Magnum Shifter Recommendations?

I have a T56 magnum paired with an LS7 clutch and LS3 with cam upgrades in my 1969 Camaro and looking to replace the stock shifter while everything is out. The stock shifter is leaking and is a little sloppy.

I have seen older posts with some shifter suggestions but wondering if anyone has any fresh ideas and experience with what is currently available.

I have talked to Bowler about theirs and it sounds like they have fixed the leaking issues. I am also looking at the Hurst Blackjack and American Powertrain White Lightning. If you have any experience with shifters that don't leak and feel great I would love to hear about them. Thanks in advance!

I have bowler and it’s working great. Shifts feel tight and what I was most worried about, NO LEAKS.

I have a White Lightning shifter from American Powertrain on my T56 Magnum and like it a lot. No leaks after four years and 5,000 miles.

Thanks! I ended up ordering a Bowler and will circle back once the LS swap is complete and I've been able to use it for a while.

Looks like I need to order the Bowler one and have it readily available.
