Powerglide Pro Lever

©2012, 2002 B&M Racing & Performance Products

The B&M Pro Lever is de­signed for use on aluminum
Powerglide transmissions with­out the throttle lever and shaft. It
is a two piece lever rather than
the usual one piece lever. It has
four holes for the cable swivel
so that it can be used with B&M,
Turbo Action or Hurst shifters.

The B&M Pro Lever must be
used with either a manual valve
body or with a trans brake. The
lever can not be used with an
automatic valve body since
there is no provision for a throttle
linkage lever.

The shaft portion of the lever
is installed in the transmission
in the normal Powerglide man­ner. The lever is then put over
the end of the shaft with the
lever pointing down (for a stan­dard installation). The cable
bracket for your particular shifter
is bolted on, the cable is in­stalled in the bracket and the
swivel is screwed onto the cable.
The swivel is then inserted into

the correct hole on the lever as
shown in the illustration on the
first page. With B&M Shifters it
is very important that the cor­rect hole be used for the swivel,
other wise the shifter will not
work correctly.

Blocker Screw

If the cable comes from the
front (usually a rear engine car)
the lever is installed pointing
upwards. You will have to make
a cable bracket for this installa­tion.

There are two versions of the
B&M Pro Ratchet and QuickSil­ver shifters and they use different
mounting holes for the cable
swivel. If the swivel is put in the
wrong hole, the shifter cannot
be correctly adjusted. Early
models of these two shifters use
the hole marked "2" and late
model shifter use the hole
marked "1". The late models of
these two shifters started pro­duction in late 1998. The late
model shifters can be identified
by the blocker screw and nut at
the back of the shifter to limit the
travel of the shifter for use on 3
speed or Powerglide transmis­sions. If your shifter has two
holes punched in each of the
side plates and has a blocker
screw and nut installed in one of
the holes it is a late model Pro
Ratchet or QuickSilver and
should use the hole in the lever
marked "1". Otherwise use the
hole marked "2". The illustra­tion on this page shows the lo­cation of the blocker screw.
