I have this shifter kit installed. park , reverse, neutral and OD work fine (it automatically shifts thru all the gears fine so I don’t think the transmission is hurt) . But for some reason I can’t manually shift gears (1,2,3) it just stays in OD. It used to work fine
I have the shifter installed, bolted to the lower bolts had to make the same kind of bracket for the top bolts, the problem I’m having is the shifter indicator seems to be sitting to high and I can’t get the indicator cover to sit flush, the shift is tight to the floor, the cover plate is down flush on the console, I don’t get what is wrong.
@@MrStangdawg okay I am fully aware that the LED light indicates to me what gear I am in that was not my question. What I am trying to do is connect the reverse wire on a new aftermarket head unit for a back up camera
I'm having a problem with my bm hammer shifter going put the stock shifter back in because everytime I pull up on the lock out it's not smooth it's a rough pull
If it's rough to shift then it's likely you need to adjust the cable at the transmission OR you have something interfering with the shifter. Make sure the plastic console cover isn't hitting something.
@@MrStangdawg it's more the metal slide that goes up and down I had it for a year and definitely put it to use and my cable has a plastic sleeve with a blue thing where do they go on the cable
@@Mattys91gt That's strange as the level is just held on by the cotter pin and then the spring keeps tension on it. Did you take the shift boot off to see why it would be binding?
@@Mattys91gt are you using an OEM shifter cable or aftermarket? I'm not sure what the blue thing is you are referring too mine doesn't have anything blue.
@@MrStangdawg it has a lot of play side to side everything was bolted down and tight I've heard good and bad things about the shifter it's going sit for the winter it needs work that I've never done it's going be a challenge and on the tar driveway
Funny thing is I'm going swap this shifter out to use my OEM AOD shifter. Doing it because I'm setting up the PRNDL to display to my Dakota Digital dash :)
The way my shifter cable runs is at a hard angle I wish I could post pics so you have a email and see the sleeve by the big bracket and looks like u have a yellow stopper behide it
@@MrStangdawg is your cable different then mine it's a ATP product from lmr and it's the mounting bracket it has the 2 nuts that bolt near the transmission and when I put that on or should it get bolted on last it's my first mustang sorry all the questions
@@Mattys91gt my cable was a used OEM/Ford shifter cable but the LMR one should function exactly the same. It's easiest to bolt on the bracket first, then connect the cable to the shifter and then to the shift linkage on the transmission. Try attaching but not fully tightening down the cable to the transmission shift lever and see if the cable needs adjustment. The shifter should not bind the only reason it would do that is if you have the shifter cable out of adjustment on the transmission. Watch my video again as I cover that about making sure the shifter can go into park easily.
@@MrStangdawg so the cable I have I've read that I have to drill the holes out to the bracket to get it to fit I'm not sure if I cut the top half of the bracket off or keep drilling til it fits
I wanna say this video was the best I found ! Wouldn't mind picking your brain about my 86

Does it still ratchet?
@@MrStangdawgyes
@@CaMBeRKiD45 Does the cable still move the transmission lever on the side of the transmission? Could be out of adjustment and out of range.
What could I use for a new nut and bolt into the shifter cable bushing mine is all worn out
For some reason my LED indicator flashes.

Is the little "brass arm" in the slider? If the slider has the brass arm in it should sit flush. Let me know if you can't figure it out.
Where does the plastic sleeve go on the cable
Not sure what you mean by plastic sleeve.
how did you connect the reverse wire?
The slider piece is what gives you the gears. As you move the shifter it moves the little LED light for the appropriate gear
@@MrStangdawg okay I am fully aware that the LED light indicates to me what gear I am in that was not my question. What I am trying to do is connect the reverse wire on a new aftermarket head unit for a back up camera

Lemme get that oe shifter knob
Funny thing is I'm going swap this shifter out to use my OEM AOD shifter. Doing it because I'm setting up the PRNDL to display to my Dakota Digital dash :)
Will this shifter work with a 700r4
I don't think so, definitely not out of box. I would call B&M
The way my shifter cable runs is at a hard angle I wish I could post pics so you have a email and see the sleeve by the big bracket and looks like u have a yellow stopper behide it
the cable should not have any sharp bends should all be sweeping bends.

@@MrStangdawg on my bracket I had to drill the holes out bigger to get the cable to angle correctly
@@MrStangdawg so the cable I have I've read that I have to drill the holes out to the bracket to get it to fit I'm not sure if I cut the top half of the bracket off or keep drilling til it fits
Does the cable lay against the floor board or in that u shape ,this is my issue
From the transmission is the entire cable is in a U shape. bottom of Shifter -> U shape bend -> to the side of the transmission.
@@MrStangdawg where can I send u pictures of the cable it's a automatic aod transmission with lmr kickdown cable
@@Mattys91gt you have an email address I can send you my email.
