Don't have a picture :oops: But I use the B&M Pro Ratchet Shifter(Summit # BMM-80842) love it in the last 2 cars that I had. Got a crappy Mr.Gasket in the project 64 Dart that I'm sure will get pitched for the B&M once I start to drive it.

i managed to find just a shifter not a kit so im wondering what it entails to make use of it.

You need the shifter cable and the correct mounting bracket for where the cable bolts to the trans.

Rick

I use the B&M also and like it a lot. Here is a picture of the brackets & stuff.

nice looking setup.

Second that! Pardon my ignorance here. Its been a long time since I have looked at an automatic trans. Is the top lever the gear selector and the bottom one the kick down? It looks like you will need two brackets. I have seen the front one, (kickdown) on e-bay with no ID as to what it was for; just that it was for a 904 trans.

What brand of kickdown are you using?

Red cable from the left is the shifter cable that loops back around to your shifter. Kick down cable is the stainless steel cable that loops back forward to the carb. I bought mine off E-bay. Not sure of the brand, but less than a lokar.

the top lever is the shifter, the bottom is the reverse lockout or the park lock. the one i have doesnt have the second lever it does it all mechanically.

as far as the kickdown goes there is a thread on this site somewhere about using a late model dakota cable and brackets that work the same as a lokar setup.

Sorry, but the bottom one is the shifter, (with the red cable) The top lever is the throttle pressure/kick down lever (Stainless cable)

Rick, Where is your cooler mounted, and what kind are you using? Thanks. Sam

Sam, my cooler is mounted long ways under the passenger seat. Since mine is basically a race car that worked out great. I guess that it would work for a street driven car in that position but don't know for sure. Here is a link to the pictures.
