STEP 22. If you have not already done
so, loosen the pinch bolt on the throttle
lever on the transmission. This is the
lever on the small diameter shaft. Pry
the lever off with a screwdriver and allow
the linkage to hang free. Remove and
discard the stock shift lever and the
stock shift linkage. Install the B&M
selector lever in position and tighten the
pinch bolt securely (See Figure 7).
Make sure the lever is not pushed down
so far as to touch the transmission
case. This will cause the lever to bind on
the case. The lever should travel smoothly
from front to back with a positive click in
each gear position. Install the stock
throttle lever in position on the small
diameter shaft as removed and tighten
the pinch bolt securely. The throttle
lever must operate smoothly.
STEP 23. Remove the two transmission
oil pan bolts directly below the shift
lever. Install the cable bracket in posi-
tion, (See Figure 8), with two spacers
between the pan and the bracket. (If
your transmission is equipped with a
cast aluminum oil pan these spacers
can be omitted.) Install the two 5/16-18
x 1.00" pan bolts supplied and tighten to
12-13 lbs.ft. Do not overtighten as this
can damage the pan gasket.
STEP 24. Route the shifter cable ac-
cording to Figure 3. Avoid kinks and
sharp bends and route the cable away
from hot engine or exhaust parts.
Remove the two rubber boots, one
large nut, and a large lockwasher from
the threaded end of the shifter cable.
Slide the end of the cable into the cable
bracket. Install the large nut and lock-
washer loosely over the end of the cable.
Install the two rubber boots onto the end
of the cable. Install the swivel on the
threaded end of the cable and position it
in the center of the threaded portion.
STEP 25.Move the transmission selec-
tor lever by hand to full forward position
(Low). Place the shifter lever to the Low
gear position (all the way back). Adjust
the large nuts on the cable so that the
swivel will slide into the hole on the
selector lever. Tighten the large nuts
completely. Be sure that the swivel will
slide freely in and out of the hole in the
selector lever.

(the engine will not crank unless these
wires are connected together), and re-
verse light wires. Disconnect the bat-
tery ground cable before beginning to
wire the neutral safety and reverse light
switches. Reroute the wires to the B&M
Sport Shifter. Strip 1/4" of insulation
off the wires and install the supplied
slip-on terminals. Crimp the terminals
onto the wires using a crimping tool or
pliers. Connect the neutral safety wires
to the INNER switch and the reverse light wires to the OUTER switch (See
Figure 2). Tape the terminal connec-
tions to prevent shorts. Reconnect the
battery ground cable, disconnect the
coil wire and set the parking brake.
Check the switch operation by attempt-
ing to start the motor in each shifter
position. The starter must crank only
when shifter is in the Park or Neutral
position. Check the backup light op-
eration when the shifter is shifted to the
Reverse position. Adjust the switches if
