STEP 16. Cut the wires to the original
indicator light and strip the wires. Con-
nect the wires to the wires on the indica-
tor light on the top cover plate. Tape over
the connections so that they will not short.
Install the indicator light bulb in its socket
on the shifter cover plate.
STEP 17. Snap the shift position window
into the top cover plate. The window snaps
in from the top with the tabs inserting into
the slots at either end of the window
opening. Place the top cover plate over
the stick and onto the top of the console.
Route the indicator cable around the front
of the shifter so that it has a free radius
and will not bind. Run the shifter through
all of the gears to check the operation of
the indicator. If the indicator needs ad-
justment, loosen the screws holding the
indicator cable clamp to the cover plate
and slide the cable bracket to adjust the
indicator position. Attach the cover plate
to the tower with the screws going through
the top plate, through the supplied spac-
ers and into the lower plate.
STEP 18. Slide the boot over the stick
and install it into the cover plate. Note that
the front of the boot had “FRONT” on the
inside of the rubber. After the boot is
installed in the cover plate and into the
stick install the T-Handle and the jam nut.
Tighten the jam nut when the handle is
properly oriented.
OPERATION
The B&M Megashifter normally func-
tions as a straight gate detent shifter
from Park to Reverse to Neutral to Drive
and as a ratchet shifter from Neutral to all
forward gears. Refer to the following in-
structions for proper operation:
STRAIGHT GATE MODE: With the trigger
in the upper position, the shifter functions
in the STRAIGHT GATE mode. The handle
travels in a direct line forward and back-
ward from Park to Drive. The trigger must
be raised up to clear the stop gates while
going through the gear positions.
RATCHET SHIFT MODE: The RATCHET
SHIFT mode allows firm, positive no-
miss upshifts and downshifts through all
positions from 1 (Low gear) to Neutral. To
switch from STRAIGHT GATE to
RATCHET operation, first operate the shifter to the Drive position. The trigger
will snap down approximately 3/4". The
shifter is now in the RATCHET MODE,
Drive gear position. The shifter will only
operate in the RATCHET MODE between
Neutral and First, it will not ratchet to
Reverse or Park. This is done to prevent
accidental shifting into Reverse.
SHIFTING IN THE RATCHET MODE: Move
the shift handle forward or backward with
a quick firm action until it hits the internal
stops, and allow it to spring return to the
center position. The shifter is now ready
for the next shift.
