The B&M Short Throw Shifter can

carefully following the instructions.
Read all instructions first to familiar-
ize yourself with the parts and proce-
dures. This kit contains all the parts
necessary to install the shifter.

DISASSEMBLY

We suggest the vehicle be allowed to
cool for an hour or two before you be-
gin since you will be working around
the exhaust system. The vehicle
should be raised so there is at least 2
feet of ground clearance for ease of in-
stallation and safety.
STEP 1. Unscrew the stock shift knob
and then raise and support the vehicle.

This B&M Short Throw Shifter has
been designed to work on most 1988-
2000 Honda Civic/CRX/del Sol and
1990-2001 Integra models equipped
with a manual transmission. It has
been engineered to greatly reduce shift
throw and improve shifter feel. Check
the tool list at the end of these
instructions for the tools required to
install your B&M Short Throw Shifter.
Installation of the B&M Short Throw
Shifter can be accomplished by
anyone with minimal mechanical
experience.

Shifter there are several other B&M

STEP 2. Unhook the two rubber ex-
haust hangers near the catalytic con-
verter and carefully lower the exhaust
pipe. It may be helpful to place a small
crowbar between the exhaust pipe and
the floorpan.
STEP 3. Using a 12mm socket wrench
and 12mm box wrench, remove the nut
and bolt attaching the shift lever to the
change rod. Carefully lower the change
rod and allow it to hang out of the way.
STEP 4. Using a 12mm socket and
short extension, remove the two bolts
from the rear extension mounting rub-
ber. Allow the change extension to
drop slightly (it will still be attached to
the shift lever dust seal).
STEP 5. Use a 12mm box wrench to
remove the bolt holding the front of the
change extension to the transmission.
STEP 6. Using your forefinger, care-
fully roll the shift lever dust seal off of
the change extension. You can now
gently pull the change extension and
the shift lever from the vehicle.
STEP 7. Place the change extension
on a clean, flat surface and remove the
two change ball locknuts using a 10mm
socket (the bolts have a 10mm flat to
assist in removing the locknuts).
