B&M 81112 STEALTH PRO BANDIT SHIFTER - Manual

9500702-03 Printed in U.S.A.
The B&M Pro Bandit Shifter is a gate
pattern type shifter mechanism. It is
available in a rear exit cable model only
and it is designed for Powerglide
transmissions with standard or reverse
pattern valve bodies. The B&M Pro
Bandit Shifter features a positive
reverse lockout mechanism and a
neutral safety switch as required by
NHRA and IHRA.
Please read the instructions and review
the illustrations thoroughly before
beginning the installation.
IMPORTANT: You must first install
the shifter cable and an air slave cylin-
der (such as B&M's #80883 KIT)or
electric solenoid onto the shifter before
positioning it in your vehicle. This is to
insure that you allow for proper clear-
ance at the rear of the shifter for these
components before you permanently
mount the shifter body into the vehicle.
Mounting the shifter first without the
cable and the air slave cylinder at-
tached can cause possible interfer-
ence from frame rails or other compo-
nents. Poor cable routing and cable
binding will result in poor shifter opera-
tion.
INSTALLING THE SHIFTER CABLE
STEP 1. Pull the shifter stick all the
way back to the Low gear position, the
position furthest from the red reverse
lockout release lever. Remove the five
countersunk screws from the B&M Pro
Bandit Shifter cover (See Photo #1).
STEP 2. Locate the cable attachment
pin at the rear of the shifter stick. The
pin is visible just under the black shift
pattern gate plate. Do not remove the
black gate plate (See Photo #2).
STEP 3. Fully extend the stamped
loop end of the shifter cable #80834
(included in #80793 KIT), (See Photo
#3). STEP 4. Insert the extended stamped
loop end of the cable through the larg-
est access hole in the rear of the shifter
body. Slip the stamped loop cable end
over the cable attachment pin at the
rear of the shifter stick and attach the
supplied e-clip to the pin. Check to
make sure you have the e-clip firmly
and accurately in the locating groove in
the pin (See Photo #4).
STEP 5. Push the cable anchor tab
flush to the rear of the shifter body.
Align the 17/64" cable flange hole with
