well i was tired of the same shift handle everybody has, so i took an extra B&m handle i had laying around and made it work. I had to drill it out, and drill a hole in the side of it and tap it for a set screw to hold it on, but the end result is awsome, i can make a tech article if you want.

what do you do about the detent button? push down the whole handle?

 

yah well, the little yellow thig soon to be painted black is just like a stick, so i pushed the handle down to where it pushes the yellow deal down enough to unlock the shifter. and now im gonna go out and find a set screw to stuff in there. but heres some pics on how i did it.


First i set them next to eachother to see how big i needed the hole

 

then i drilled just to as deep b&m had it already drilled but i drilled the exact same size so u have to beat it on, the friction holds the "lock" in place

 

and slam it down and voila' but im still gona shove a set screw in to keep it from moving, but reall there is no "detent" button nymore, it just goes into gear, or park when you puch on it

 

well that is just pretty d@mn neat!!! i like it!

 

Looks cool.. but no reverse saftey? NHRA tech guys won't like that if they notice.. not to mention I wouldn't dream of going through the gears on that thing with a milligram of adrenaline in my system.

But, as I said.. looks cool..

 

looks like mine, kinda...

 

nova, i have to wonder what all those switches are for...what are they for?

 

HERES WHAT THEYRE WIRED TOO : oh, ya know, little things, fan, water pump(when my miezere gets here) overdrive, fuel pump(when i go to an electric fuel pump with my efi), and one left over for something extra.

HERES WHY HE SAYS HE NEEDS THEM : well, you don't run the water pump when you want the car to warm up faster. ie, when your trying to keep the motor a consistant temperature during racing(bracket/index drag racing), a fan switch so that you can cool the motor down when the car is not on. a fuel pump switch cause i am going with a weldon racing pump when i get my fuel injection so i can turn it on and off. overdrive because currently i am running with no computer, and when i do go with the fuel injection, i will be running the commander 950 ECU by holley which has no povisions for TCC. 1 extra switch just in case. i had 5 switches/lights from my rollcage mount moroso switch panel that i was unable to use cause my cage didn't fit quite like i wanted. (i will get that fixed later.) i figured since i had the extra switch/light, i would go ahead and put it in, just in case i do need it later. did that explain why i did what i did?

 

couldn't have put it better myself doug, or whatever!lol

 

Yeah its doug. Heh youre right you probably couldnt put it better or else well you would have. I copied and pasted that from an old post of urs. I was just sitting there and went **** i know that and it was bugging me so i looked it up

 

when i take her to the track i will put the stock one on for inspection atleast, but other than that i just put her in drive most of the time, because i've always been bad at shifting her manually with that shifter so i dont really worry about it. Plus i want to get the megashifter when i get the money.

 

yeah, i know
