Page 8

STEP 1. PARK - from any position or gear push the shift knob
forcefully down and then forward as far as it will travel.
NOTE: if the engine does not start in this position than a
slight forward push or slight upward tug on the knob may
be required.
STEP 3. FIRST / OVERDRIVE - from any position push the knob
forcefully down while pulling back, as far as it will travel
(this is "FIRST"). Without pushing the knob down, push
the knob forward. The shifter and transmission will click
through "SECOND" and "DRIVE" then hard stop at
"OVERDRIVE".
STEP 2. REVERSE - from the "PARK" position, apply light
downward pressure on the shifter knob while pulling back
until the shifter stops.
SHIFTER OPERATION
The B&M Street Rod automatic shifter has been designed to operate a GM TH-700 and 4L60 trans-
mission through an intuitive sequence of motions that allow the driver to know exactly which gear or
position the transmission is in at all times. However this shifter has not been designed as a "race
shifter" and cannot be substituted as one (B&M does make many fine race shifters - see
www.bmracing.com). Please read and familiarize yourself with these operating instructions and be
able to explain them to anyone else who will be operating the vehicle as there is no visual indication of
what gear or position the transmission may be in.
