B&M 80688 CONSOLE QUICKSILVER - Manual (Page 2)

that fasten the front corners of the console to the instru-
ment panel. Remove the two screws in the floor of the
console glove box. Pull the glove box straight up to re-
move it. Remove the two or four screws in the metal brack-
ets under the glove box. Lift console at rear and fit the
shifter cover plate through the hole in the console. Slide
the console out.
Step 2. Remove the control cable clips (See Figure #2).
Remove the four 5/16” shifter mounting bolts and remove
the light bulb and socket (if equipped). Remove the shifter
mechanism. Remove the boot cover plate screws and
the plate.
Step 3. Enlarge the cable hole in the floor with a hack-
saw or sheet metal cutters as shown in Figure #3. The
enlarged portion should be at least 1” forward of the ex-
isting hole. Pull the cable boot up over the lower portion
of the metal fitting on the cable. Replace the cable boot
plate and leave it loose.
Step 4. Align the cable adapter holes with the U-shaped
notch on the B&M QuickSilver shifter and fasten it with
one of the 1/4” bolts, washers, lockwashers, and nuts
supplied with the kit (See Figure #4). Place the B&M
QuickSilver shifter in Neutral (See Shifter Operation).
Step 5. Install the B&M shifter mounting bracket on the
floor. Fasten it with the four stock 5/16” bolts. The bracket
must be level from side to side.
Step 6. Slide the B&M QuickSilver shifter over the con-
trol cable and install the stock cable clip on the cable
fitting. Slip the cable eyelet over the cable pin on the
shifter and install the stock clip (See Figure #5).
Note: You may have to enlarge the cable eyelet slightly.
Use a round file and do not enlarge the hole any more
than necessary to make it fit.
Step 7. Bolt the shifter to the mounting bracket finger
tight, using two 1/4” bolts, washers, lockwashers, and
nuts in the kit. Check for clearance between the cable
and the enlarged hole in the floor. Also check for clear-
ance between the bottom of the chrome shifter handle
and the mounting bracket. If the cable contacts the edge
of the hole, unbolt the shifter and enlarge the hole to clear
the cable. If the bottom of the chrome shifter handle inter-
feres with the mounting bracket, enlarge the hole in the
bracket. Install the two remaining mounting bolts and
tighten all four bolts.
Step 8. Relocate the cable boot and boot cover plate
(See Figure #5). Drill the floor with a #32 drill and install
the stock screws. Make sure the hole is covered to pre-
vent entry of exhaust gasses. You may have to add some
tape or silicone sealer.
