B&M shifter

[wezeles]

Finnaly in

here it is... took a while trying to find a nice position to mount it... first attempt put it to close to the dash in 1st and 2nd.. and aparently im part of the loan a tool program because i had to hunt down my dremil and drill to even finnish it... calling all my friends... you have my tools? lol and i know the interior looks like shit dont worry it will be done soon...lol

That big 'ol shifter looks pretty bad ass in there! i like it

[wezeles]

ya it wasnt as bad as i thought it would be once i had all the right tools wiring it up was easy enough... just finding a mounting position was hard... eventually i got mad... hit it and it fell right in the perfect spot... anger does come in handy... i still have to mod the ash tray more to fit my vacume controller... i was hopping to just pop it in on an angle but the door gets in the way so im going to have to mount it straight up and down.. i steal some crap from work tonight to make it fit...

i get the same thing when i get really pissed off....i've been controling myself a little better though lol.... it gets expensive if you break things on accident.... but that shifter looks pretty mean and "down to business" ya know

[wezeles]

i still have a new handle on back order too, same thing as that but with a button on the left side... goign to wire up the no2 that way instead of just the arming switch and WOT switch. alot of times when i hit the gas really hard it just knock the no2 switch to far back then wouldnt ingage...and id like to controll it myself... kinda scarry too when you floor it from a stop.. with the no2 on and its shoots all the way through 1st and 2nd full shot... i really dont want to see my axels reach orbit anytime soon

even the "bolt in" one doesn't bolt up well from what I've seen

[wezeles]

ya not at all to get a good fit it was like and inch and a half forward from stock bolt... had to drill all 4 holes.. but thats alright only took a couple minutes...it fits nice except the boot is a little big for how tight it is in there might have to cut some out to it doesnt bunch up..

[wezeles]

i put in the new t handle with the button on it... what a ***** its a b&m handle to boot and with the adpaters and everything it didnt fit my B&M shifter what the hell...lol so i had to acctually change the threads on the handle to fit one of the adapters closest to the thread it was... but it loks nice the old handle wasnt in great condition... and now i have a No2 switch... and if i decide to change that in the future to the steering wheel gives me a nice place for a trans lock button...

here a pic of the handle itself..

i wish one of them would fit on a auto.. i love the look of them.

ive got a B&m Ratchet in the 4th gen.
it looks nice int here cept i dont have it all finished haha.

[wezeles]

it will fit on an auto... the same one will bolt into a 4th gen 4 speed auto... but you need a shifter boot to make it look right instead of the rubber ribbed boot it comes with... i have a few sites if you wanna do it... cost like 125-175 bucks to do it though unless you can find a used one like me.. mines an auto 3 speed but it comes with plates and cables for an auto 4 speed as well... and if you need shifter boots i have them at my work...

I was thinking of putting a t-handle on my 5-speed, but I don't know how I would like it. I kinda feel weird driving with the skull shift knob. . . . lol
