Installing my B&M Today

Ahoy everyone. I finally have a shifter that actually can work with my TH350. (B&M MegaShifter)

Anywho, In about 2 hours im gonna go tackle the task, Just thought I would put this message on here because I plan to take many pictures of the install. perhaps it will put an end to the ques EVERYONE asked so many times on here.... If I need to tell you what the question is... You obviously havn't been here too long.



Heres what I can tell you so far:

I live in Canada, BC. I bought my Shifter from a local shop, cost me $301.00 after tax. The guy at the store said it would take approx. 2 hrs to complete the job.

Cya in a few hours

Post away, Brother.

I have one to install as well, however, I am waiting on my Pro-Built 700 R4 to get here.

I will be following your install quite closely.

Thanks,

Yes I hit a minor snag, I had a few smaller things to tackle before the shifter, and I hit a big one. Not to worry the shifter is fine, I just had to waste a day running around town trying to find a power steering pump. the one i had dont fit. so i had to order in a new one. and now today (friday) i have to goto work in an hour. grrrrrrr, dont worry tho, saturday the shifter is my only project. and it WILL be done then, hopefull ill have the pics up saturday too

Thanks for waiting.... just one more day

Heres a few pics just to keep you interested

Jack placement, jack location, jack points, lift car, strong points


Sorry for that weird sentence there, but I put that there incase anyone does a search they can find this pic

Tranny brackets/cables for shifter


Heres the best spot to put the jack so you can actually jack the car up

Lookin good man.

As for your camera situation...you're just not holding it steady when you're taking the picture. Same thing used to happen to me. Hold it steady.
