SO lately I've seen a lot of posts about the Mega Shifter and it's got me thinking, I'm kind of board with mine. So I decided to change after the T-handle came loose, again. I took off the T-handle and put on the billit aluminum ball handle from the quicksilver shifters. I was plesently surprised about how it feels and I like it much more. Also, it's a little different too. Here, take a look.

So what do ya think? I like it. It's differnet, oh well, thought I'd share it with everybody.

 

Oh yeah, one more

 

Anything is probably better than the original one. Here is mine...

 

I dunno; I'm rather partial to the T-handle. Did you use the Loctite that B&M recommends on the handle? I didn't do that to mine at first (couldn't find the tube of loctite), and the handle kept spinning loose. Finally bought a new tube, applied it, and the handle's stayed put ever since.

 

It almost looks like a football trophy.

 

Yeah, I used loctite. I even used it everytime it came loose. Oh well, like I said earlier, I like the way it feels compaired to the last 2 t-handles I've had. Give it a year and I'll be sick of this handle too.

 

With the Mega Shifter can you use any standard shift handle or do you have to use ones specific to the B&M shifter?

 

i think it looks really good! as for it being loose and what not, on my stock t handle the metal staple/clip piece that holds it in keeps popping out so i just removed it and it can now rotate 360 degrees freely! its pretty funny! and when i get out of my car i pull that handle off!! THEFT DETERRENT DEVICE!!

 

*dont reallly try this*

but i did! and then rotate it 180 degrees and and the passenger can shift for you! not that you want to but its funny as hell!

 

has anyone installed the quicksilver shifter in a 3rdgen? becuz when i was at the last NHRA meet B&M had there tent set up and i liked how the quicksilver worked.

 

You could probably make the Quicksilver shifter work, but there is no console model that I know of. As far as I know there is only the MegaShifter and the Hurst Dual Gate for the consoles of the f-bodies. Unless some one else knows differently.

As asked earlier, you should be able to put any shifter knbb on a mega shifter as long as it's sized to SAE 1/2" -20, which is what all B & M shifters are threaded to.

 

Hey CraZ-28 , what kind of guage pod you got there? can you snap a good picture of it for me?

thanks

 

Hey man i saw that looked at the 2nd gen console quicksilver and put it on .. its the **** that say "quicksilver" on it. It feels acctually better to shift so im gonna get a round gearshift **** from napa .. thanks for the idea man

Opps. Would be nice if I posted a pic.
