Installation Instructions
Pro Stick Shifter
Part Number 80701, 80702 & 80706
©2012, 2010, 2008, 2001, 1998 by B&M Racing and Performance Products
The B&M Pro Stick shifter #80701 and #80706 comes
equipped with a three speed forward (standard) pattern gate
that works with most popular three speed automatic transmissions. To use these shifters with a reverse pattern three speed
automatic transmission or a two speed automatic transmission you will need an optional gate plate.
The B&M Pro Stick shifter #80702 includes the two speed
gate plate, a cable bracket and the Powerglide special lever
without the throttle valve shaft hole. For use with transbrakes
and full manual valve bodies only.
An aluminum mounting bracket is available for the B&M Pro
Stick shifter with quick release pins to allow the shifter to be
removed and replaced quickly, or the shifter can be mounted
directly to the floor. An aluminum housing is supplied with the
#80706 or it can be purchased separately to provide a finished look to the shifter. The housing can be used either with
or without the mounting bracket. The shifter comes equipped
with a neutral safety switch, and an optional backup light switch
is available.
The part numbers for the optional products are:
Three speed reverse pattern gate plate #80710
Four speed gate plate #80712
Two Speed (Powerglide) gate plate #80713
Mounting bracket #80715
Aluminum housing #80717
Back up light switch #80609
Powerglide Cable Bracket #70469
GM PRNDL bracket/ lever kit #75498
The main mechanical components of this shifter are precision factory assembled. Any modification or disassembly of
these parts can cause shifter malfunction and will void the
warranty. You should disassemble only that which is detailed
in the instructions.
The vehicle should be 1-2 feet off the ground for ease of installation. Jack stands, wheel ramps or a hoist will work fine.
Make sure the vehicle is firmly supported. Read through these
instructions before beginning installation. If you do not un-
Printed in the U.S.A.
derstand a particular step at first, go back and re-read the
step before proceeding.
Warning: If your vehicle is equipped with a locking steering
column, securing the column lock lever in the engine compartment in the full up position will allow the wheel to lock and
unlock but will allow the key to lock the wheel if the key is
turned to “lock” while moving, or at any time. Securing the
lock lever in any other position will prevent the wheel from
locking at any time.
If you are going to use a gate plate on the shifter, change it
now. Remove the two screws and three “E” rings that hold the
gate plate on (See Figure #1). Remove the original gate plate
and install the new gate plate. Replace the “E” rings and the
screws.
NOTE:
4L85E transmission equipped with a PRNDL switch you
will need the optional accessory kit #75498.
Step 1. Remove the stock shift linkage:
Column Shifters: Remove all rods, levers or cables from the
column and the transmission. Place the column shifter lever
in the park position. Remove the roll pin holding the shift lever
to the column and remove the shift lever assembly.
Console Shifters: Remove the shifter mechanism from the
console. Disconnect and remove the rod or cable from the
transmission if so equipped.
Note: Shifter installation may require console modification or
complete console removal depending on your vehicle and
available space.
Step 2. If so equipped, pull the carpet away from the floorboard where the shifter is to be mounted. Locate the shifter in
the vehicle with the stick shifted to the rearmost gate position
and mark the position of the four mounting holes in the floor.
Step 3. Remove the shifter mechanism and drill four mounting holes using a 9/32” drill bit. Mark the position of the shifter
cable hole. The cable hole must be 1 inch in diameter. Drill or
cut the cable hole in the floorboard.
Step 4. Install the carpet back to the original position. Do not
secure the carpet at this time. Cut holes in the carpet at the

mounting hole position. Cut a 1 inch slit in the carpet at the
cable hole position.
Step 5. Install the cable onto the shifter mechanism. One
end of the cable has a threaded housing and a threaded
cable end. This is the transmission end of the cable. The
other end of the cable has a flat cable end with a hole. Fit the
cable housing into the U-shaped notch in the shifter mechanism and fasten the retainer lug with the supplied 1/4” - 20x1/
2” bolt, lockwasher and nut to the outside of the shifter frame.
(See Figure #1) Install the “E” ring to retain the cable. Use
cable clamps or tie-wraps to secure the cable to avoid contact with hot engine or exhaust system.
Step 6. Install the neutral safety switch in place on the switch
bracket (See Figure #2). Install two #4-40 x 5/8” screws
through the switch and the bracket. Install a lockwasher and a
nut on each screw and tighten snugly. Do not overtighten the
nuts as you may crack the switch. Install the switch bracket
assembly on the shifter base with a 10-24 x 1/2” pan head
screw. If required, you can adjust the switch relative to the
switch actuator plate.
Step 7. Install the shifter mechanism into the vehicle. Slide
the shifter cable through the carpet and the cable hole in the
floor. The shifter mechanism should be level when installed.
Make sure the cable is routed according to Figure #3 to avoid
sharp bends or damage to the cable. Install the 1/4” -20x1-1/
2” bolts, washers, and nuts (supplied) through the shifter and
the floorboard and tighten securely.
Note: Some floorboards are extremely thin and will not adequately support the shifter mechanism when bolted to the
floor, resulting in excessive shifter wobble. For those vehicles,
we recommend you fabricate a stiffener plate for additional
strength. Seal the cable hole securely to prevent entry of exhaust gases.

selector lever nut and the selector lever from the transmission. Discard the stock lever and the stock shifter linkage.
Install the B&M selector lever in position using the stock
selector lever nut (See Figure #5). Torque the nut to 23 lbs.ft.
The lever should move smoothly from front to rear with a
positive click in each gear position.
Step 9. Remove the two transmission oil pan bolts from the
middle of the left side of the oil pan. Install the cable bracket
in position (See Figure #5). The bracket must be installed
with two spacers between the pan and THE bracket. (If you
transmission is equipped with a cast aluminum oil pan, these
spacers should be omitted. With a TH-400 with a cast aluminum oil pan the cable bracket may have to be modified.) Install the two 5/16-18 x 1.00” bolts (Metric transmissions use
the two 8mm x 25mm bolts) supplied and tighten 12-13 lbs.ft.
Do not overtighten as this can damage the pan gasket.
Step 10. Route the shifter cable according to Figure #3. Avoid
kinks and sharp bends and route the cable away from hot
engine or exhaust parts. Remove the two rubber boots, one
large nut, and a large lockwasher from the threaded end of
the shifter cable. Slide the end of the cable into the cable
bracket, install the large nut and the lockwasher loosely over
the end of the cable. Install the two rubber boots onto the end
of the cable. Install the swivel on the threaded end of the cable
and position it in the center of the threaded portion.
Step 11. Move the transmission selector lever by hand to the
full rear position (Low). Operate the shifter lever to the Low
gear position (all the way back). Adjust the large nuts on the
cable so that the swivel will slide into the front hole on the
selector lever. Tighten the large nuts completely. Be sure that
the swivel will slide freely in and out of the hole in the selector
lever. Note: The shifter will not operate correctly unless the
front hole in the shift lever is used.
Note: On GM 4L80E or 4L85E transmissions equipped with
a PRNDL switch. Start cable adjustment with the transmission pan off and begin cable adjustment at the Neutral posi-
tion of the shifter and transmission.With the pan off, watch
that each position of the shifter allows the detent spring to sit
fully in each position of the selector rooster comb. Due to

slight changes between GM 4 speed transmission gears.
The 4L80E and 4L85E transmission detent spring might not
fully seat in low gear and the swivel will not slide in and out of
the hole of the selector lever freely in low gear. This is normal! and will not affect shifting as long as the cable is adjusted and the slight gap between the transmission detent
spring and the selector rooster comb is kept to a
minimum.(See Figure #4)
Leave the swivel out of the hole and move the selector lever
to Park, all the way forward. Also move the shifter to the Park
position (all the way forward). Reinsert the swivel into the
front hole in the selector lever. Check to see that the swivel
will slide freely in and out of the front hole in the selector lever
in this position. If it does not slip in freely, adjust the swivel
slightly until it will slip into the hole in the lever.
Move the shifter back to the Low gear position and check that
the swivel will still slide easily in and out of the front hole in
the selector level. (If you do not use the front hole in the lever ,
it will be impossible to correctly adjust the cable.) Operate
the shifter through all the gear positions. Check to make
sure the swivel will slide in and out of the front selector lever
hole in each gear position. The shift cable is now correctly
adjusted. Install the cotter key supplied with the shifter into
the swivel and spread the key ends.

If you have a problem, DO NOT FORCE THE SHIFTER, this will
damage the cable, the shifter or the transmission. Simply
start at the beginning and carefully check all your steps.
Step 12. On GM vehicles the neutral safety switch may be
located on the shifter (steering column or console), or it may
be a mechanical interlock in the steering column that prevents the key from turning to the Start position unless the
GM Transmissions

shifter is in the Park or Neutral position. Identify the type of
neutral safety system you have. If the key will not turn to the
Start position unless the stock shifter is in Park or Neutral,
you have a mechanical interlock type, otherwise you have a
neutral safety switch type. If you have a neutral safety switch,
locate the switch and identify the neutral safety wires (engine
will not crank unless these wires are connected together).
With either type, disconnect the battery ground cable to prevent accidental shorts. If you have a neutral safety switch,
disconnect and extend both wires from the GM switch to the
switch on the shifter. If you have a mechanical interlock cut
the wire that goes from the Start position on the ignition switch
to the solenoid on the starter. This wire is usually a 10 or 12
gauge purple wire. Run wires from both ends of the cut wire
to the switch on the shifter. Put slip on terminals on the ends
of the lengthened wire. Crimp the terminals onto the wires
using a crimping tool or pliers. Connect the wires to the switch
on the shifter. Tape the terminal connections and all other
connections to prevent shorts. Reconnect the battery ground
cable, disconnect the coil wire and set the parking brake.
Check the switch operation by attempting to start the motor in
each shifter position. The starter must crank only when the
shifter is in the Park or Neutral position. Adjust the switch if
required. Reconnect the coil wire.
FORD
Step 13. If you have not already done so, remove the nut and
lockwasher holding the downshift linkage onto the downshift
lever shaft. The downshift lever is the outer lever on C-4, C-5,
C-6 and AOD transmissions. Pull the lever off the shaft and
allow the linkage to hang free. Remove and discard the stock
shift linkage rods. Some C-6 and all (late) C-4 and C-5 trans-
missions have a neutral safety/backup light switch on the transmission shift lever. If your transmission is so equipped, remove the two bolts holding the switch in place and slide it off
the shift shaft. Disconnect the switch at the factory plug and
discard it.
Step 14. Install the B&M selector lever (See Figure #6 or #7).
Note:The B&M lever must point downward for proper opera-
tion. If the stock shift lever on your transmission points down,
you will have to remove the lower part of the stock arm by
cutting it off to clear the B&M lever (See Figure #6). Install the
B&M selector lever onto the shift shaft of the transmission.
Align the selector lever so when it points straight down it

travels equal arcs in both directions from the center, then
tighten the 1/4”-20 x 1 1/2” pinch bolt and nut. The lever should
travel smoothly from front to back with a positive click in each
gear position. Make sure the O-ring is in position on the downshift shaft and install the downshift lever in position on the
shaft. Install the lockwasher and nut and tighten securely. The
downshift lever must operate smoothly. Reconnect the downshift linkage.
Step 15. Cable bracket installation:
AOD: Instructions for the AOD are included with the optional
installation kit, Part #40496.
C-4, C-5: Remove the two lower bolts from the rear servo
cover. Install the cable bracket in position (See Figure #6).
Install the two servo cover bolts as removed and tighten 1213 lbs.ft. Do not overtighten as this can distort the servo cover.
C-6: Remove the two transmission oil pan bolts form the left
rear corner of the oil pan. Install the cable bracket in position
with two spacers between the pan and the bracket. (If your
transmission is equipped with a cast aluminum oil pan, these
spacers can be omitted.) Install the two 5/16-18 x 1.00” bolts
supplied and tighten 12-13 lbs.ft. Do not overtighten as this
can damage the pan gasket.
Step 16. Route the shifter cable according to Figure #3. Avoid
kinks and sharp bends and route the cable away from hot
engine or exhaust parts.
Remove the two rubber boots, one large nut, and a large
lockwasher from the threaded end of the shifter cable. Slide
the end of the cable into the cable bracket, install the large
nut and lockwasher loosely over the end of the cable. Install
the two rubber boots onto the end of the cable. Install the
swivel on the threaded end of the cable and position it in the
center of the threaded portion.
Step 17. Above the transmission selector lever by hand to the
full rear position (Low). Place the shifter lever to the Low gear
so that the swivel will slide into the hole on the selector lever.
Tighten the large nuts completely. Be sure that the swivel will
slide freely in and out of the hole in the selector lever.
With the swivel in the selector lever, move the shifter to the
Park position, as far forward as the shifter will go without forcing it. (The shifter has further travel that is used to reach the
GM Park position but is not used on the Ford transmissions.
Trying to force the cable will damage the cable.) The shift
lever on the transmission should be all the way forward.

Page 5
Check to see that the swivel will slide freely in and out of the
hole in the lever in this position. If it does not slip in freely,
adjust the swivel slightly until it will slip into the hole in the
lever in both the Low and Park positions. Operate the shifter
through all the gear positions. Check to make sure the swivel
will slide in and out of the selector lever hole in each gear
position. Install the cotter key supplied with the shifter into
the swivel and spread the key ends.
If you have a problem, DO NOT FORCE THE SHIFTER, this
will damage the cable, the shifter or the transmission. Simply
start at the beginning and carefully check all your steps.
IMPORTANT: Do not force the shifter to over-travel into the
Park position. This will move the shifter into the GM Park position and will damage the cable or transmission.
Step 18. On Ford vehicles, the neutral safety/backup light
switch is located on the transmission (or on the steering column on some early vehicles). If the vehicle has an AOD transmission the neutral safety/backup light switches on the B&M
Pro Stick shifter will NOT be used. The neutral safety/backup
light switch on the AOD transmissions will continue to function normally.
On the C-4 and C-5 transmissions it is necessary to completely remove the stock neutral safety/backup light switch in
order to install the B&M transmission shift lever. On C-4, C-5
and C-6 transmissions, it will be necessary to hook up the
neutral safety/backup light switches on the B&M Pro Stick
shifter. Locate and identify the neutral safety (the engine will
not crank unless these wires are connected together), and
reverse light wires. Disconnect the battery ground cable before beginning to wire the neutral safety and reverse light
switches. Reroute the wires to the B&M Pro Stick shifter. Strip
1/4” insulation off the wires and install the supplied slip on
terminals. Crimp the terminals onto the wires to the LOWER
switch and the reverse light wires to the UPPER switch (See
Figure #1). Tape the terminal connections to prevent shorts.
Reconnect the battery ground cable, disconnect the coil wire
and set the parking brake. Check the switch operation by
attempting to start the motor in each shifter position. The
starter must crank only when the shifter is in the Park or
Neutral position. Check the backup light operation when the
shifter is shifted to the Reverse position. Adjust the switches
if required. Reconnect the coil wire.
CHRYSLER
Step 19. If you have not already done so, loosen the pinch
bolt on the throttle lever on the transmission. This is the lever
on the small diameter shaft. Pry the lever off with a screwdriver and allow the linkage to hang free. Remove and discard the stock shift lever and tighten the pinch bolt securely
(See Figure #8). Make sure the lever is not pushed down so
far as to touch the transmission, it should travel smoothly
from front to back with a positive click in each gear position.
Install the stock throttle lever in position on the small diameter shaft as removed and tighten the pinch bolt securely.
The throttle lever must operate smoothly.
Step 20. Remove the two transmission oil pan bolts directly
below the shift lever. Install the cable bracket in position (See
Figure #8) with two spacers between the pan and the bracket.
(If your transmission is equipped with a cast aluminum oil pan
these spacers can be omitted.) Install the two 5/16-18 x 1.00”
pan bolts supplied and tighten to 12-13 lbs.ft. Do not overtighten as this can damage the pan gasket.
Step 21. Route the shifter cable according to Figure #3. Avoid

kinks and sharp bends and route the cable away from hot
engine or exhaust parts.
Remove the two rubber boots, one large nut, and a large
lockwasher from the threaded end of the shifter cable. Slide
the end of the cable into the cable bracket, install the large
nut and lockwasher loosely over the end of the cable. Install
the two rubber boots onto the end of the cable. Install the
swivel on the threaded end of the cable and position it in the
center of the threaded portion.
Step 22. Move the transmission selector lever by hand to full
forward position (Low). Place the shifter lever to the Low gear
position (all the way back). Adjust the large nuts on the cable
so that the swivel will slide into the hole on the selector lever.
Tighten the large nuts completely. Be sure that the swivel will
slide freely in and out of the hole in the selector lever.
With the swivel in the selector lever, move the shifter to the
Park position, as far forward as the shifter will go without
forcing it. (The shifter has further travel that is used to reaching the GM Park position but is not used on the Chrysler
transmissions. Trying to force the shifter will damage the
cable.) The shift lever on the transmission should be all the
way back. Check to see that the swivel will slide freely in and
out of the hole in the lever in this position. If it does not slip in
freely, adjust the swivel slightly until it will slip into the hole in
the lever in both the Low and Park positions. Operate the
shifter through all the gear positions. Check to make sure
the swivel will slide in and out of the selector lever hole in
each gear position. Install the cotter key supplied with the
shifter into the swivel and spread the key ends.
If you have a problem DO NOT FORCE THE SHIFTER, this
will damage the cable, the shifter, or the transmission. Simply
start at the beginning and carefully check all your steps.
Important: Do not force the shifter to over-travel into the Park
position. This will move the shifter into the GM Park position
and will damage the cable or transmission.
Step 23. Check the operation of throttle linkage again. The
linkage must operate smoothly with no bind. All transmissions using automatic valve bodies must have the throttle
linkage connected and operating or transmission damage
will result.
Step 24. Neutral safety/backup light switch.
66-68: The neutral safety switch will continue to function normally. It will not be necessary to hook up the neutral safety
5

switch wires on the shifter. Disconnect the battery ground
cable before wiring the backup light switch. Locate the original backup light switch on the steering column or console
shifter. Run these wires to the top switch on the B&M Pro
Stick. Reconnect the ground wire and check the light for
proper operation. Adjust the switches on the shif ter if required.
69 and Later: The neutral safety/backup switch is located on
the transmission and will continue to function normally. It will
not be necessary to connect any wires to the switches on the
shifter.

POWERGLIDE
Step 25. Disconnect the throttle to transmission linkage if any
and discard. The Powerglide shift lever supplied with this shifter
has no provision for a throttle linkage. If a throttle linkage is
required, use B&M lever #70461.
Step 26. Drain the transmission oil pan. Caution: Be sure
the transmission is cool before attempting to drain the oil.
Place the drain pan under the transmission. Remove the
drain plug if so equipped. If your pan does not have a drain
plug remove the oil pan bolts one at a time working towards
the front. As you loosen the last bolts the oil pan will tilt down
and allow the oil to drain. Note: If your oil pan sticks to the
gasket pry it down with a screwdriver before loosening the
last two bolts to break it free. Remove the oil pan and set it
aside.
Step 27. Remove the manual valve guide plate by removing
two bolts (See Figure #9). Unhook and remove the detent
roller spring. Allow the detent roller to pivot out of the way.
Note how the pin on the manual valve selector engages the
groove in the manual valve.
Step 28. If your transmission has a throttle valve lever on the
outside of the shift lever loosen the inner pinch bolt on the
throttle level. Slide the throttle lever and shaft out of the transmission. Remove the inner throttle valve lever. Discard these
parts.
Step 29. Loosen the pinch bolt on the selector lever . This can
be either an Allen head bolt of a 12 point bolt head. Do not
remove the pinch bolt. Slightly pry the manual valve lever and
slide the selector shaft from the transmission. Discard the
selector shaft.
Step 30. This transmission includes the B&M Powerglide Prolever shift level which is a two piece lever with separate lever
and shaft. Install the B&M selector shaft into the transmis-

sion with the lever pointing down. Hold the stock selector
lever in position in the case, engage the pin on the selector
lever with the manual valve and rotate the B&M shaft until the
flat on the shaft engages the serrations on the lever. Push
the B&M lever firmly into the transmission until the lever stops
on the shoulder of the shaft. Tighten the pinch bolt securely.
Step 31. Install the manual valve guide plate in place. (Make
sure that pin on the selector lever is engaged in the groove in
the manual valve.) Install the two bolts and tighten to 15 lbs.ft.
Install the detent roller spring. Hook the spring to the detent
roller and tab. The selector lever must travel freely and
smoothly from front to back with a positive click in each gear
position.
Step 32. Clean the oil pan and scrape the old gasket off of the
pan and case. (Note: If your pan does not have a drain plug,
you may wish to install a B&M Drain Plug Kit #80250, at this
time.) The old gasket can cause leaks. Install the oil pan with
the new gasket. Install the pan bolts except for the two center
bolts on the left side of the pan. Tighten the pan bolts to 8
lbs.ft. Do not overtighten as this can damage the pan gasket.
Step 33. Install the cable bracket in position with the two remaining pan bolts (See Figure #9). Install the B&M lever onto
the shaft with the lever pointing down. If your cable comes
from the front (usually a rear engined car), the lever is installed pointing upwards. You will have to make your own cable
bracket for this installation.
Step 34. Route the shifter cable according to Figure #3. Avoid
kinks and sharp bends and route the cable away from hot
engine or exhaust parts.
Remove the two rubber boots, one large nut, and a large
lockwasher from the threaded end of the shifter cable. Slide
the end of the cable into the cable bracket, install the large
nut and lockwasher loosely over the end of the cable. Install
the two rubber boots onto the end of the cable. Install the
swivel on the threaded end of the cable and position it in the
center of the threaded portion.
Step 35. Move the transmission selector lever by hand to full
rear position (Low). Operate the shifter lever to the Low gear
position (all the way back). Adjust the large nuts on the cable
so that the swivel will slide into the hole in the selector lever
that is labeled “H” (See Figure #10). Tighten the large nuts

completely . Be sure that the swivel will slide freely in and out
of the hole in the selector lever. Note: The shifter will not op-
erate correctly unless the hole marked “H” in the shift lever
is used.
Leave the swivel out of the hole and move the selector lever
to the Park position (all the way forward). Reinsert the swivel
into the hole marked “H” in the selector lever. Check to see
that the swivel will slide freely in and out of the hole marked
“H” in the selector lever in this position. If it does not slip in
freely, adjust the swivel slightly until it will slip into the hole
marked “H” in the lever.
Move the shifter back to the Low gear position and check that
the swivel will still slide easily in and out of the hole marked
“H” in the selector lever. (If you do not use the hole marked
“H” in the lever, it will be impossible to correctly adjust the
cable.) Operate the shifter through all the gear positions. Check
to make sure the swivel will slide in and out of the hole marked
“H” selector lever hole in each gear position. The shift cable
is now correctly adjusted. Install the cotter key supplied with
the shifter into the swivel and spread the key ends.
If you have a problem, DO NOT FORCE THE SHIFTER, this
will damage the cable, the shifter, or the transmission. Simply
start at the beginning and carefully check all your steps.
Step 36. Disconnect the battery ground cable to prevent accidental shorts. Identify the neutral safety wires (engine will not
crank unless these wires are connected together). Extend the
wires to the shifter. Strip 1/4” insulation off the wires and
install slip-on terminals supplied in kit. Crimp the terminals
onto the wires using a crimping tool or pliers. Connect the
neutral safety wires to the LOWER switch and the backup
light wires to the UPPER switch (See Figure #1). Tape the
terminal connections and all other connections to prevent
shorts.
Reconnect the battery ground cable, disconnect the coil wire
and set the parking brake. Check the switch operation by
attempting to start the motor in each shifter position. The
starter must crank only when the shifter is in the Park or
Neutral position. Check the backup light operation when the
shifter is shifted to the Reverse position. Adjust the switches
if required. Reconnect the coil wire.

MOUNTING BRACKET AND ALUMINUM HOUSING
If the quick release mounting bracket is being used, it is
screwed to the floor with four mounting screws. One spacer
washer is required between the mounting bracket and the
shifter in the location shown in Figure #11. The shifter is held
onto the bracket with the two quick release pins.
The aluminum housing can be used with or without the mounting bracket. If it is used with the mounting bracket, no spacers
are required. If it is used without the mounting bracket, four
spacer washers are required between the shifter and the cover
as shown in Figure #12. The two quick release pins are used
to hold the cover to the shifter or the shifter and mounting
bracket. A sheet of shift pattern decals is included with the
cover. Select the one that fits your shift pattern and press the
decal on the top of the housing to line up with the stick.
