Installation Instructions
Street Rod Automatic Shifter for
GM TH-700 Transmission
Part Number 81013 & 81014
©2005 by B&M Racing and Performance Products
The B&M Street Rod automatic shifter is a detent shifter that is designed to fit most GM TH-700 and 4L60 automatic
transmissions in a street rod application. Unlike other street rod shifters, this shifter not only detents between all gears
but also has a unique gate pattern that allows positive Park to Reverse then First to Drive position stops. It has a semilockout, controlled by the spring loaded detent engaged by pushing down on the stick, to keep from unintended shifts
into Reverse or Park. This shifter is designed to work with the supplied bracketry and direct shift linkage for solid direct
shifter to transmission shift operation. Also included is a neutral safety switch that prevents your vehicle from being
started while in gear.
INTRODUCTION
Please read the instructions and review the illustrations thoroughly before beginning the installation. The mechanical
components of this shifter are precision made and assembled at our factory. Any modification or disassembly of these
parts can cause the shifter to malfunction and will void the warranty. You should disassemble only those items outlined
in these instructions. Also, please note that thread lock has been included and should be used on all screws that you
do not wish to vibrate loose during vehicle operation. However, this thread lock is permanent and should be used
sparingly (heat will be required to remove screws installed with this thread lock). Avoid excessive application and
minimize dripping this adhesive into any moving parts of the shifter mechanism and linkage. For illustrative purposes
these instructions are pictured on a transmission that is separate from a chassis. There are many possible variations
in vehicles and the B&M Street Rod automatic shifter does have some flexibility in mounting adjustment and position.
Check the parts list to ensure that all of the below pictured parts have been included with the shifter.
