B&M Mega shifter questions
 

A buddy of mine gave me his megashifter a few days ago. it works fine and for free cant complain. its missing a few things though. its missing the t handle, the neutral saftey and reverse light swithes. i just went on the BM site and they're out of stock on all those parts. i can rig something for the t handle so im not worried about that. but what can i do about the switches?

you can rig something up by hooking up the 2 wires for the nutral safety switch but the reverse lights wont work

can i reuse my stock cable?

no you cant you need to use the cable with the kit its a pita to install did you get the brackets i have a nutral safety switch and reverse light switch that im going to use in the 88 gta if i do a 6 speed swap in my car

all i got is the shifter itself. theres no switches or anything on it. there's a what brackets? the one for the switches?

theres a bracket that goes on the trans and theres a bracket that bolts the shifter up to the floor

i ngot the bracket for the floor. not the one that goes on the trans. this really sucks that i cant reuse the cable. damn it.

you can try to make it work the b&m shifter is longer then stock
i have a quick sliver shifter if you want to use the handle i have to see if i have another shifter handle do you still need a driveshaft

im gonna take a pic tonight of exactly what i have. im not too worriedabout putting it in yet really. im still up in the air about the driveshaft though. im supposed to be getting another car this weekend finally. so since i wont be driving it every day anymore i might just take mine out get new joints and just rebalance mine. ill def let you know though.

Has anyone here installed the megashifter before? if so anyone willing to give me a hand. never installed an aftermarket shifter. ill throw gas money and food :-D

i would make sure you got the correct brackets on both ends for the shifter. i know the hot rod shop in clifton sells stuff like that and its not too far from you. the last thing you want to do is have the stock trans bracket be 1mm off and that 1 mm is what cooks your trans (yes, it does matter). I've had an adjustment 1/4 screw turn off on my powerglide trans completely cook the clutches inside. its gotta be perfect.

crap that sucks. i didnt think installing it would be that difficult. where is the place in clifton?

the address I can find is 32 chestnut st, clifton.

the installation isn't difficult, but you need to have the right hardware to make sure it works properly.

sweetness.

dude its a huuge pain in the ass lol looks pretty when done tho... i did it like 5 years ago when i was interning at a shop....
