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 - Hard Core in your vehicle.

Bandit Shifter - Hard Core 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 Bandit
Shifter - Hard Core). The two slotted
holes at the bottom of the shifter body
are designed for mounting tabs ac-
cess 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 - Hard Core 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. (Figure #2 shows the di-

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
internal 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
