This B&M Megashifter is designed to fit
in the console of a 1968-1969 Chevrolet
Camaro. In 1968, these vehicles were
equipped with three speed automatic trans-
missions. Since 1983, they have been
equipped with four speed automatic trans-
missions. Shifter #81035 is for three speed
automatic and four speed automatic trans-
missions. The shifters are equipped with
neutral start and backup light switches and a
five foot shift cable. If the shifter is used with
a four speed automatic transmission (TH-
700-R4,4L60, 4L60E, or 4L65E), the blocker
pin and E-clips must be removed.
Please read the instructions and review
the illustrations before beginning the installa-
tion.
The mechanical components of this shifter
are precision made. Any modification or dis-
assembly of these parts can cause the shifter
to malfunction and will void the warranty. You
should disassemble only those items outlined
in the instructions.
If the console has factory gauges, it is
advised that the negative battery cable is
disconnected from the battery.
The vehicle should be about 2 feet off the
ground for ease of installation. Use jack
stands, wheel ramps or a vehicle lift. Make
sure the vehicle is firmly supported before
attempting to work on it.
INSTALLATION
STEP 1. Remove the top cover of the con-
sole. Remove the retaining screws and lift the
cover from the center console.
STEP 2. Remove the console light from the
cover.
STEP 3. Disconnect the cables from the
shifter. Unbolt and remove the shifter mecha-
nism. Remove the cable bracket and the
selector lever from the transmission. Remove
the shift cable from the vehicle.
STEP 4. The Park lock cable must be wired
in the Park position (fully in) so that the
steering column lock will work and will allow
the key to be removed. The cable should also
be secured inside of the console out of the
way. After wiring the cable in this position,
check to see that the steering column lock
works correctly, and that you can remove the
key. WARNING: With the interlock dis-
abled in this manner, it is possible to
lock the steering column at any time, so
be careful not to turn the key to the
“LOCK” position while the car is mov-
ing.
STEP 5. Assemble the neutral safety and
reverse light switches to the bracket using
two (2) #4-40 x 1-1/4" screws, two (2) 4-40
lock washers, and two (2) 4-40 hex nuts.
Caution, over tightening the switch attach-
ment screws will crack the switch housings.
STEP 6. Install the cable on the shifter. The
cable attachment tab should be bolted to the
outside surface of the shifter base using
