I think the only difference is the reverse lockout.

I think the super shifter has a shorter throw -looks like where the stick is bolted on is further from the main bolt- (pivot point)??
it goes in a 64 belvedere w/ long stick I think it would work
might just try it?

I remember I used the Super Shifter back in my 4-speed Dart that I bracket raced back in the late 70's and early 80's. Even back then I was one of the few stick cars bracket racing as most were auto's. I really liked the Super Shifter and could really slam the gears fast using the Super Shifter. I remember a guy in a Camaro came up and asked me what I ran after I beat him (no 60 fts back then and individual time cards) as he had run 11.88 on his 11.88 dail in his auto Camaro. I ran 12.18 on my 12.18 dail in my 4-speed 340 Dart and beat him as it was a semi-final round. But you did not get reaction times or 60 ft times back then. And that was using that nice Super Shifter which I really liked. Oh and Pro eliminator was 11.00 to 12.49 at that time. Ron

I've never used a Super Shifter in a B body, in the 1967 and later A bodys you have to cut the trans crossmeber to clear the shifting rods so they don't rub on it work Look at your rods first to see if they are straight with reinforcing sleeves on them lke the A bodys have, if so you may have the same issues on yours scope Hopefully not up

Could'nt you use the super shifter with the comp. rods
looks like the holes in the shifter levers are the same??

The Super Shifter is probably the best H-pattern shifter ever made. You shouldn't have any problem using the HD linkage in B-body because it mounts in front of the crossmember.

My bad blush, I have worked and built early B body 4 speed cars years ago, Gus it correct on this up I'm getting ready to build and assemble a 1966 Dodge Coronet Deluxe, changing from a slant six with three on the tree to a 440 with a NP833 O.D. trans and OEM cheap shifter out of a pick up or van confused OP, maybe I'll be in the market for the shifter you don't use work If you want to sell it, that is up

The super shifter is VERY close in measures to the oem bbody shifter.
So it can be used in the stock position and with stock shift rods if bushings/reducers are used in shifter arms.
I would say that comp + and super shifter are similar in design but super shifter seems beefier and will probably last longer.

Do you have the correct 3-4 non-offset shift fork?
