B&M Shifter Install - Long weekend Job

[BRADMAN]

Hey All,

Well i finally got the whole weekend to myself, no work, no other work. just time to work on my car.

For anyone interested i will write up instructions at the completion of the install, todays half day progress (busy wiring up other crap on the todo list)

Removed old shift
removed old linkage
installed 3/4 of mega shifter
1/2 installed cable
1/2 installed bracket

for those who dont know about the megashifter.....

its pretty much the same as any other shifter except.

a) its chrome
b) it has a finger release instead of button like on e series
c) it is a hybrid between tip tronic & auto

ill explain part C
P, R, N & drive all move as norm (you need to pull release pin with fingers)
however once you get into N or D you just push the T piece of the shifter Forward & Backwards to Cycle UP or DOWN the gears...

to change down gears while driving
go to drive with finger release (as normal) then ....
TAP T piece down to go to 3 (automatically centers t piece again)
TAP T piece down to go to 2 (automatically centers t piece again)
TAP T piece down to go to 1 (automatically centers t piece again)

go from 1 to D
TAP T piece up to go to 2 (automatically centers t piece again)
TAP T piece up to go to 3 (automatically centers t piece again)
TAP T piece up to go to D (automatically centers t piece again)

ive never used or installed a B&M so it will be interesting to see if it feels good to drive or wether it gives me the shits.

anyhow back to it.
later
