STEP 4. SECOND - From "FIRST" gently push the shifter one
position forward. From "DRIVE" gently pull the shifter one
position backward. NOTE: there is no positive stop for
"SECOND" thus "SECOND" must be accessed carefully
or it will be skipped over.
STEP 5. NEUTRAL - From "DRIVE" firmly push the shift knob
downward and gently pull the shifter back one position.
From "REVERSE" firmly push the shift knob downward
and gently push the shifter forward one position.
ADJUSTMENT - If excessive fore-aft stick free play occurs over
time, there are two adjustment screws locked in place
with jam nuts (both metric) that can be adjusted to reduce
this free play. A slight amount of fore-aft free play is
required for proper shifter operation.
NOTE: there is also a small amount of side to side free
play that is normal.
ADJUSTMENT AND MAINTENANCE
The B&M Street Rod automatic shifter is virtually adjustment and maintenance free and should pro-
vide years of service provided it is installed and operated correctly. The shifter mechanism has been
assembled, lubricated, and adjusted from the factory to provide the optimal shifting action and should
not be disassembled nor adjusted other than that which is outlined below. Only lubricate the shifter
mechanism if rough mechanism movement occurs and use only a high quality moly-graph grease.
