B&M 80797 STREET BANDIT SHIFTER - Manual (Page 2)

flush to the rear of the shifter body.
Align the 17/64" cable flange hole with
the 9/32" hole in the shifter body. Be
sure to use the hole directly above the
large cable access hole. Install the
supplied 1/4" bolt from the outside of
the shifter body through cable mount-
ing flange until the bolt sticks through
to the inside of the shifter body. Place
the supplied 1/4" washer over the ex-
posed threads on the inside, then thread
on the 1/4" nut and tighten (See Photo
#3).
STEP 4. Temporarily reinstall the side
cover with the center screw only. This
is to insure that the gate plate and the
mechanism does not move from the
inside of the shifter body. You are now
ready to locate your B&M Street Ban-
dit Shifter in your vehicle.

BANDIT SHIFTER INTO YOUR
VEHICLE
STEP 5. With the driver sitting in the
vehicle, find the best location that al-
lows the driver full range of motion to
easily work the shifter through the
entire shift pattern, Park to Low gear.
(Read the section on HOW TO OP-
ERATE YOUR B&M STREET BAN-
DIT SHIFTER). The two slotted holes
at the bottom of the shifter body are
designed for mounting tabs access
from the supplied mounting bracket.
The bracket tabs should slip up inside
the slotted holes.
Be sure when choosing your shifter
mounting location you route the
shifter cable where it can be easily
looped through the vehicle without
binding or kinking. Most impor-
tantly, it is critical not to crush, bind
or kink the shifter cable as it exits
the rear of the shifter body. Poor
cable routing will result in improper
shifter operation and potential
cable damage.
STEP 6. The B&M Street Bandit
Shifter is designed to bring the cable
to the transmission from the back of
the transmission (See Figure #1).
Install the mounting bracket in the
vehicle (mounting holes of the bracket
should be hidden underneath the shifter
when in place) and tighten the bolts.

STEP 7. Carefully remove the single
screw that is temporarily holding the
cover in place. With the mounting bracket
installed in the vehicle, slip the shifter
body over the top of the tabs. Make sure
that your tabs do not interfere with any of
the internal mechanism components.
STEP 8. Install the supplied 5/16" x 3/4"
countersunk bolts through the counter-
sunk mounting holes from the outside of
the shifter body and through the holes in the mounting bracket tabs. From
inside of the shifter body, place the
supplied 5/16" nyloc nuts onto the
bolts and tighten. This will clamp the
mounting bracket tabs to the shifter
body. Be sure not to move the inter-
nal shifter mechanism or the gate
plate while the cover is off.
STEP 9. Reinstall the side cover
with all five screws and tighten. Once
the cover is installed check to make
sure that the shifter operates
