STEP 4. UPSHIFTING - Gently push the shifter one position

forward at a time. DOWNSHIFTING - Gently pull the
shifter one position backward. NOTE: there are no
positive stops for each gear, therefore each gear must
be accessed carefully or it will be skipped over.

STEP 5. NEUTRAL - From "OVERDRIVE" firmly push the shift

knob downward and gently push the shifter back one
position. From "REVERSE" firmly pull the shift knob
downward and gently push the shifter forward one
position.

ADJUSTMENT - If excessive fore-aft stick free play occurs over

time, there are two adjustment screws locked in place
with jam nuts (both metric) that can be adjusted to reduce
this free play. A slight amount of fore-aft free play is
required for proper shifter operation.
NOTE: there is also a small amount of side to side free
play that is normal.

ADJUSTMENT AND MAINTENANCE

The B&M Street Rod automatic shifter is virtually adjustment and maintenance free and should pro-

vide years of service provided it is installed and operated correctly. The shifter mechanism has been

assembled, lubricated, and adjusted from the factory to provide the optimal shifting action and should

not be disassembled nor adjusted other than that which is outlined below. Only lubricate the shifter

mechanism if rough mechanism movement occurs and use only a high quality moly-graph grease.
