Turbo Action Manual Transmission Shifter Lever Kit
Turbo Action Manual Transmission Shifter Lever Kits
When it comes to precision shifter components built for serious performance applications, Turbo Action has been a name racers and enthusiasts trust since the company was established in 1970. Turbo Action has built its reputation by engineering drivetrain and shifter products that deliver reliable, accurate gear selection under demanding conditions — on the strip, on the street, and even on the water.
The Manual Transmission Shifter Lever Kits available from Turbo Action are purpose-built components designed to work hand-in-hand with the brand's legendary Cheetah SCS Shifter system and related performance drivetrain hardware. These lever kits address a critical element of any shifter setup: the mechanical interface between the shifter mechanism and the transmission itself. A worn, imprecise, or misaligned shift lever can lead to missed gears, transmission damage, or unsafe driving conditions — exactly the problems Turbo Action's components are engineered to prevent.
Engineering Built Around the Cheetah SCS Platform
Turbo Action's shifter lever kits are closely tied to the brand's iconic Cheetah Shift Command System (SCS), introduced in March 1982 and widely regarded as one of the most precise and durable racing shifters ever produced. The lever kits are designed to integrate seamlessly with this proven platform, ensuring that the mechanical connection between shifter and transmission maintains the precise gating and solid construction that the Cheetah SCS is known for.
Turbo Action offers specific lever options for a range of popular transmission families. For example, their step-out shift lever (Part #70031M) is available for Turbo Hydro 200, 250, 350, and 400 applications used with the Cheetah SCS Shifter. The brand also offers a Multi-Use Shaft Kit for Powerglide transmissions (Part #70040) that is compatible with multiple popular shifter brands, as well as a dedicated Torqueflite shift lever (Part #TUR-70032) for Chrysler applications. Lever shafts for Ford C4/C6 transmissions are also part of the lineup, typically finished in zinc oxide-coated steel for corrosion resistance and long service life.
Why Shifter Lever Kits Matter
A manual transmission shifter lever kit is more than a simple hardware replacement. The lever is the mechanical link that translates the driver's input at the shifter handle into actual gear engagement inside the transmission. In performance and racing environments, lever geometry, material strength, and precise fitment all contribute to shift feel, reliability, and safety. Turbo Action designs these kits with that full picture in mind — helping prevent improper alignment of gear selection that could cause transmission failure or hazardous driving conditions.
