B&M Precision shift gate for stock shifter to make stock a gate shifter.

Put mine in last week, had been on back order for 2 months.
Great piece! May have to elongate holes for perfect gear alignment..

Also put rear on jack stands and run through gears at idle or low steady rpm and watch speedo... First shift slow and then bang them..
Thought mine was alligned perfect, installed hours before going to track - shifted great when shifting normal, Got to track hit into third kinda hard and went straight to overdrive.. Made some adjustment and went through gears several times hitting soft and hard till was perfect.... Just a little warning.
Also the new detent rod they supply - mine would jam after hitting button, noticed stock piece was rounded on top and new was straight cut.. Hit the edges with grinder real quick and problem gone.
