B&M shifter help

KEN BUGAJ · 12-12-2009, 05:55 PM

I have a new B&M shifter installed in my car,,,
If I hook the cable up to the trans it works really hard?
If I take it off the trans it works fine,
Anyone got any Idea's what to look for? Thanks, Ken

Check cable for a rough feeling when disconnected.Very slight,poss causes would be cable pinched or kinked at the factory or shipping.Some oem cbls would do this when I worked at a dealership.Hope this helps.

If your trans shifts ok by hand, I would guess the cable is in a bind (not enough of an easy bend) That's my .02

Ken,

Try what Bob said to do.... Make sure the tranny arm shifts easy by hand...If thats OK, check for a kink in the cable.. Try taking it off trans again and adjusting it in each gear to see if that helps ? Make sure you only remove at the eye-let , so the cable is still in the bent position... I think you may find it's in the tranny arm ? Good Luck & Merry Xmas....
