front. By installing the “B” washers with
the hole towards the

front, you can give

a slight rearward bias to the shifter.
Tighten the screws to 12-15 lb-ft. (See
Figure 2.)
Step 5.

Check the operation of the

shifter. Install the new lower boot sup-
plied with the B&M Short Throw Shifter.
First put the retaining ring around the
bottom of the shifter, below the stop
screw holes. Then install the boot over
the shifter. Squeeze the retaining ring
with your fingers and put it around the
lower part of the boot. (See Figure 3.)
This lower boot must be used to keep
dirt and water out of the shifter mecha-
nism.
Step 6.

Replace the stock rubber boot

that attaches to the floor pan. Replace
the original screws and secure the boot
to the floor. Replace the console. Install
the original screws and tighten. Replace
the plastic handle on the parking brake
and secure. Replace the original inte-
rior boot and trim plate. Replace the stock
shifter knob or use a replacement knob
with a M16-1.50 thread.

STOP SCREWS

After extensive testing with various race
teams, as well as continuing develop-
ment with the original transmission En-
gineering group, B&M Racing and Per-
formance Products has determined that
the “shift stop” feature is redundant on
the T-Series of Borg-Warner (Tremec)
transmissions. Because of this, B&M is
phasing out the use of shift stops. If you
feel that your style of driving requires the
use of shift stops, install the supplied
threaded stops and nuts and adjust ex-
actly as described or internal transmis-
sion damage could occur!
Adjusting the stop screws. Pull the
shifter back into fourth gear. Turn the stop
screw in with your fingers until it con-
tacts the lower shifter stick. Turn the stop
screw out 1/2 of a turn. Hold the stop
screw with a 7/32" Allen key and tighten
the jam nut securely with an 11/16" box
or open end wrench. Push the shifter
firmly into third gear and repeat the pro-
cess with the front stop screw and lock it
in place with the jam nut. (See Figure 4.)
