OPERATION
The B&M Megashifter normally func-
tions as a straight gate detent shifter from
Park to Reverse to Neutral to Drive and as a
ratchet shifter from Neutral to all forward
gears. Refer to the following instructions for
proper operation:
STRAIGHT GATE MODE: With the trigger in
the upper position, the shifter functions in the
STRAIGHT GATE mode. The handle travels in
a direct line forward and backward from Park
to Drive. The trigger must be raised up to clear
the stop gates while going through the gear
positions.
RATCHET SHIFT MODE: The RATCHET SHIFT
mode allows firm, positive no-miss upshifts
and downshifts through all positions from 1
(Low gear) to Neutral. To switch from
STRAIGHT GATE to RATCHET operation, first
operate shifter to the Drive position. The
trigger will snap down approximately 3/4".
The shifter is now in the RATCHET mode,
Drive gear position. The shifter will only op-

To switch the shifter from RATCHET mode

the shifter to the Drive gear position, pull up
firmly on the trigger to engage the STRAIGHT
GATE mode and move the handle forward to
Neutral, Reverse and Park.

GATE mode to the RATCHET mode or from
RATCHET mode to STRAIGHT GATE mode

SPECIAL NOTE: If the instructions for oper-
ating your shifter seem complicated, DO NOT
BECOME ALARMED. You will find that in
actual use the shifter will be extremely easy
to operate after a minimal amount of experi-
ence. Caution: The shifter is an important
controlling mechanism of your vehicle and
can create serious driving hazards when
any part is loose, missing or misadjusted.
After you have installed your shifter we
recommend you review the instructions to
assure a complete and proper installation.
