i just put mine in! its very nice i even added a 8 ball to top it off. you will { on mine that is} cut out that little bar thats in the counsel and drill 2 new holes at the top of the shifter. then you can mount it in. then the electrical is easy. the cable is a sinch. and you wont use one of them cause there are 2 in there. good luck. the best part is that you cant miss a shift from 1 2 3 then it goes into nuetral but you cant hit it in to reverse. you have to put it back in drive and lift up the handle in order to go into reverse or park. if ya got any more questions let me know later.

Re: how to install a B&M console ratchet shifter

I am trying to install the Quicksilver Shifter on my car and I can not figure out which wires go where. There are four slots on the sensors but there are 6 wires on the harness. can some one help me?
