Thank you for this video I see in the instructions it's very important to make sure that that cable is adjusted properly and to see that you took the feral out of the shifter on the transmission and then put it all the way up into the park position and put the barrel in the check to see if it had played I think that's the critical area of where we make mistakes.
As a beginner in this type of stuff in the Automotive world, thank you for the very straight-forward video. I look forward to installing one in my Drag Car I'm building!
I know this is old, but did anyone else notice he's wearing a Hurst hat? Love it!
B&m bought hurst
Same company
Holly bought them all@@conradmaceo
Thank you sir. I found on my AOD, doing the first gear adjustment. Then verifying in reverse, not park, worked better for me
I’m a huge fan of B&M love your stuff. Thanks
Thanks for the support Dave!
What do i do if i follow your instructions and the swivel doesn't line up
Is this the same instructions for the star shifter, do I use the same hole on bracket???I have the 350 trans?
Seems legit. Thanks for having this available
You make it look so easy... 🥴
Does not adjust correctly with 700r4. Followed instructions and rechecked. If you adjust on low, swivel doesn’t go in in Park. If you adjust in Park, swivel doesn’t slide in in Low. If you adjust in neutral same thing. Threw that garbage shifter in a lake.
Having the hole on the transmission gear selector shaft bracket in the correct place is critical. The correct distance between the center of the cable attachment hole and the center of the selector shaft attachment hole is the key. The shifter is not the problem. It's all about the geometry of the lever on the transmission end of the cable. If the center to center measurement is too small, the shifter throw is too small. If it's too much, the shifter throw will be too much.
Hi there, I'm fitting a megashifter to my c4, I would like some info on how to set the c4 linkage bracket, I know it supposed to be straight done, equal arcs, but what gear must the box initially be at?
If on a TH400 with reverse shift pattern PRN123 I assume the same instructions apply. Except begin using park and 3rd?
Did that end up working, I’m currently struggling with mine
@@CarlosDelgado-qd8dc yes. I just re adjusted in neutral and worked perfectly
@@rickhoupt6933 I’m currently having issues with mine, I’m under the car and it engages neutral but when I check third, the shift level doesn’t fully go into 3rd gear
@@rickhoupt6933 it’s almost as if the cable could not fully pull the shift level below, because it’s needs like 1/8 to full engage
Instructions for the B&M pro ratchet say the TH350 location is the middle hole not the first hole. Can you confirm?
Alright I’m running your shifter on a th400 transmission, why would I not be able to shift into first gear and lock it in? I can only shift what feels like maybe second and cannot get it into first
The 3 speed limiter pin
Could you tell me which hole the swivel goes into for a 700R4. I did not see anything in the instructions today Bout which hole to use. It only shows for 350 400 4L60E Im using a universal shifter with the extra bracket on the shifter body for the overdrive.
The shift lever that the e clip goes to the screw just snapped and the shifter doesn't engage. And It's new...
I have the pro ratchet shifter, park seems to bottom out on the top side of the cable, the upper cable seems to not be adjustable, so how do I make the shifter go into park?
I have tried adjusting everything and cannont get it to move freely after the 1st gear
Hey just wondering if it will work on a E40D?
So how do you adjust if it matches in park. But not in the other positions?
I'm about 1/4" off. Like the shift cable does not move far enough overall
Try manually moving the detent to neutral, then hook up the cable.Should then be able to get all gears.
Does this work on a 2010 Mustang Auto? Anywhere i can get the installation instructions?
Where can I get a shifter cable for a 6 speed transmission?
I have a 700r4 tranny in my cj7 jeep (complete drivetrain swap out of a 88 s10 blazer).
I noticed when I was installing a b&m shifter that my 700r4 tranny shaft would pop out slightly.. I can push it back in and pull it out slightly.. Any ideas why it would do this and how I can fix it?
Thanks for the video.
Helped me alot, thk u. Old fart talkin'
I have a foxbody with a c5 transmission when I put the swivel in the hole in low I cant reach park when I adjust the swivel or bolts to reach park I can't reach neutral what can I do
Hi Tony, Sounds like you need to replace the shift cable with one that is either longer, or has more threads on the rod for adjustment in it.
Im switching from a megashifter to a sportshifter, just the shifter body because it was damaged, should i start over and redo all the adjustments? Or can i just replace the shifter and go? My current shifter was installed only a year ago
I bought a vehicle with a B & M shifter. I was wondering is it easy to get it back to a normal automatic shifter? Any input will help. Very illiterate when it comes to this stuff LOL.
What car do you have?
Maybe I'm expecting too much here but there appears to be 2 different ways to adjust this and he doesn't explain when you should use one or the other.
I just found out my B&M Shifter on my 67 Nova is a 4 speed auto Shifter, when adjusting cable on my 350 Turbo trans, do i just put the Shifter in 2nd gear and the trans in first, IS THAT All I do to adjust ??? Or is there also something on the Shifter itself that you deal with??
Thanks for any help :)
Hi William,
Depending on the shifter, you would need to set the shifter up for a 3-speed application. Give us a call at 707-544-4761, that way we can get a little more information about your shifter and help find the right solution for you.

It a shifter is over 25-30 yrs old, I think it's a starshifter, When I put it in ratchet mode it does only have to slaps = 3 speed already starting in 1st. but when I have the cable unhooked and go through the gear clicks it seem to have 2 parks, or an extra click in there.. LOL, I don't know..
Im on hwy 58

I kno this post is old. Did you ever figure it out ?
On a B&M Stealth Magnum Grip Pro Stick Shifters #81052 the swivel should be installed in the center hole for 3 speed transmission??
Yes
I do this but the cable is very long
I have a b&m hammer shifter in my 1977 ford f150
thanks Bradley for letting us know, appreciate it!
How did you get it to line up I’m having problems with the stock shift lever
Hi, Is it anything other than the cable and brackets that I would need to put a B&M shifter in my 1997 Tahoe. I do still have the computer, does that matter. people keep saying something about a neutrals saftey switch
Why does video show a downward slope of cable when braket mounts off pan bolts and is located by edge of pan thus malking is straight? THis cause a binding action when moved to the upward park position which is a short radia.
If you're having binding issues with your B&M MegaShifter please give us a call at 707-544-4761.

Is this the same installation for the Z gate shifter? Th350
Sorry for the delayed response. Yes, the cable adjustment is the same for the Z-Gate as in this video.
Will this work on the rt Dakota?
So question I have a 95 Dodge Ram I wanna have this shifter in will it work on the 46re trans as well is this shifter a pretty universal set up or not exactly? Thanks
Shadow ll Steveo it will fit but you would have you do a little fab work with the trans mounts for the cable and the center shift mount
Then I will buy one and install it thank you
Are all B&M shifters tough to get through the gears? I have a new megashifter on my 2nd gen Camaro, with th350, installed and routed cable as per instructions but really have to force the shifter around and it often jumps over a gear or doesn't make it far enough, i.e. you think it's gone from park to reverse but it's revving in neutral as it skipped slightly past reverse.
Regardless of shifter or transmission, you should not have to force your B&M shifter from gear to gear. It sounds like it's a simple adjustment issue. Try to disconnect the cable from the shifter, row through the gears and see if it still acts up. If that does not work then you should perform the adjustment procedure over and pay close attention to the fine details (ensure that all blocker pins are removed, cable bracket is correctly installed onto the correct trans pan holes and performing adjustment in the correct GM gear). We also have a Support Team available Monday through Friday by calling 707-544-4761 that can assist with troubleshooting the issue.

@@BMRacingPerformance Thank you Jason! I should finally have some time over Christmas to carry out the procedures you recommend, hopefully it takes care of it. I know it will be a great shifter once running smoothly, will report back...
Ray's World going through the same issues now lol
@@pnwhotclassics6085 Any luck? Just spent the last 2 hours trying to adjust. I have foot forced against the floor to get enough leverage in ratchet mode to switch gears :(
@@car_ventures I would recommend welding a pipe to the shifter so you have more leverage like a breaker bar. You want to make sure your knuckles drag the headliner like the big rig 18 speeds.
I have your C4 cable 8ft. Approximately ten years old started having shift problems. For example started by when shifting 1st thru third the third required to shift twice. Made son adjustments and all went back to normal. Now the problem has returned. Long story short I feel like the cable has stretched. Now when I adjust for 1st gear position. Then move to park the nipple doesn't alien requiring min of 2 to three turns. So my park will not engage and it's in reverse.on or it won't go to 1st gear. Or requires multiple shifts to engage gears. I'm assuming I need to replace the cable?
Me to, how did you fixed it???
I replaced the cable. And still had a problem... Just sent it to a transmission shop today.
I bought the Mega shifter for a TCI C4 511200 Transmission, the switches for reverse & safety can be installed without any problem? The position for the 3rd & 4th gear is the same because for me there is a space missed in the shifter mechanism?
Tijuana special 👌
What is the part number of the cable?
I bought a mega shifter at a yard sale for $10 Bucks!.
Should be in park 1st
you cant leave the cable like that it'll be dragging on the road ! What the heck do you do with the excess???
neil pine loop it in a wide circle on top of the transmission
@@tylersteez Cheers mate will do ! Thanks
I got Xw falcon C4 they don't line up in park and low got me stuffed :(
Interesting I'm installing one now the stock cable was slightly short so ordered a 5ft one.
@@brunoburtoni8479 I got it sorted, just park that does'nt fit right went to neutral and worked back till low all good
I have the same problem I have a foxbody with a c4 it wont go in park if I adjust the swivel or bolts it wont go it low did I find a way to fix this.
This is complete bullshit I am reading the pro ratchet shifter instructions and it says the forward hole is for 4 speed transmission th350 is a 3speed wish b&m would learn how to make a set of fuckin instructions
