A MUST Upgrade for Jeep Wranglers with Six Speed Trans - B and M Sport Shifter

www.amazon.com/shop/autoedits...
If you have a 2007 or newer Jeep Wrangler JK with the 6 speed manual transmission, this is a must watch video because the B&M Precision Shifter upgrade will change the driving characteristics that much... in a good way!
This install isn't ideal for all "do it yourself-ers". There is a tricky bit of lowering the gas tank and transmission cross-member to get access to the foam donut and top of the transmission. I go through step by step in the video to show how the at home mechanic can get this done. The hardest part for me was to just get the stock shift knob off!
The shifter is a very high quality part and the housing is made from billet aluminum with internals constructed out of 4140 chromoly steel and will reduce the throw between gears by 35%. I take the Jeep on a test drive after the install to show the new shifter in action.
Plus, I also give a shout to / rubiconunlimited who sent me a cool "pull to eject" decal that goes on the driver's seat adjust handle and adds a cool bit of flare (might even be good for a few extra horsepower... can't confirm yet) Check his page out.
Here's where to get the "pull to eject" sticker:

I like this guy. Drives a manual jeep wrangler, entertaining to listen to slash watch, works on his vehicles, very informative, plays with his dog while he works, and believes in Bigfoot. Awesome

I kind of want to copy and paste this comment into my bio... seems like a cool guy when you phrase it like that... way cooler than actual ... LOL

[@AutoEdits]

Right on! So glad to hear from you!!!

[@blakstar64]

My 2008 JK was CONSTANTLY falling out of first gear. Watched all the videos about the synchronizers needing to be replaced (which made no sense at all). Then I saw your video and thought what the hell and got the B&M shifter. What a difference. Been driving it for four months now with no more first gear issues. I will say that I was able to remove the foam isolator without dropping everything underneath. But what a product this shifter is. 100% recommend to anyone having ghost shifting issues.

[@clintmcjeepjunkie820]

It's been over a year since I watched your video but I finally bought one and installed it a few days ago. No more popping out of gear. One of the best mods I've done yet. Thanks for the video

autoedit any of your rigs have on-board air compressors ? I'm looking to mount a tank on the frame of my f-150 and converting the air conditioner compressor to run it ( just cuz I'm cheap & I don't want a bird's nest of wires to manifest it's way under my hood ).

It's nice seeing the work done with major parts still installed, i typically only see work like this done with the transmission out.

[@jbondpt]

I really enjoy this series of the Jeep and the changes you have made. Thank you for showing me what you do. Keep the great work. Greetings from Portugal

What an awesome upgrade that most jeep owners don't think about! Get that thing feeling like Large Marge! Thanks for the shout out and glad youre diggin' that pull to Eject sticker!

[@scottsnow9362]

I used a strap wrench to remove the shifter knob on my JK. Worked like a champ and took less than 30 seconds. Just in case anyone watching wants to try this.

[@reuben649]

I finally got this installed and I love it!! it was a little pricey but it is well worth the price. Solved my issues with my gear shifting. Thanks AutoEdits

[@armourbl]

What kind of issues were you having before?

[@bradleyh.gamesandaquatics9037]

Finally an upload I’ve been staring at my subscriptions waiting for a upload

[@mike94560]

I received the shift lever first and put it on. To remove factory knob easily I used a ball joint separator tool. (Looks like a tuning fork) After removing trim rings. Slip it over the shaft. Tap upwards with a medium size hammer. It pops right off. When driving I noticed less flex in the shaft. I like it already and I haven't even put the other part on. I also will get a better idea of the difference between factory and B&M linkages.

[@pointnshoot1]

Thank you for the great video! Got my shifter installed last week and it truly is a game changer. Felt very firm at first and has become smoother over the last week but still very precise. Not a handshaker anymore, the shifter is solid! This has made my '12 JKUR so much more fun to drive and I can't wait to get it on the trails.

[@AutoEdits]

Love to hear this! Guess what.... I just got the transfer case shifter in the mail today and it RULES!!! Can't wait to show you that video!!!

[@oldchicago3216]

I had no idea this was a common problem, I figured I was the only one and ignored it. I'm changing mine too....thanks for another great video.

I have an automatic JKU, so didn’t need this upgrade, but really enjoyed how much you liked it. Shared it with my buddy whose Rubicon is a manual. Could be a great one for him. Thanks for the link to the pull to eject sticker too. Buying one now!

I test drove the new JL with the 6 speed manual and it is much tighter and the throws are really short. Almost feels like my old Mazda Miata did, really sporty. Great upgrade for the JK guys!

I drove a 55 CJ3B when I was a kid. You had to keep your knee against the shifter while off road to hold it in gear. 60+ years you think jeep would have learned something. Great videos!

[@AutoEdits]

HA!

[@ianmannis8223]

Love the new editing Jason ! Ur awesome

[@drew812w]

Just changed the trans oil on my 16. 24k miles. The oil level was low. The transmission is quieter and shifts smoother. The magnetic drain plug was filled with metal. I'm no spring chicken when it comes to manuals. Really disappointed with the sloppy shifter and even more with the under filled trans. Change it out guys! It's easy and costs very little compared to the issues later.

[@jpi8726]

My apologies if this question has already been asked and answered. Aside from the foam isolator, do you think there would be enough clearance to get the shifter in place without dropping the whole transmission 3 inches? Because that seems like a ton of work just to reuse a $20 part. I think I’d rather just invest in a new one before starting the install then cut the old one out. That way I can skip that whole ‘drop the tranny’ thing.

[@hotzyglock]

Love the show. Thanks for all your hard work to give us the informative content!

[@AutoEdits]

[@kid21artea12]

I bought my jeep used and it came with this shifter. I took it in to a buddy thinking there may be something wrong with it and his face lit up when he drove it. He new it was a new short shifter I just lucked out! Definitely takes some getting used to but in love with it.

That is so cool. The bad thing about Jeep is when you go off-roading or head any kind of bumps it'll jump right into neutral it seems like you solve the problem. Good job. I've been watching a lot of stuff about Jeeps I am actually getting one and a couple of days so I'm starting to see what people can do and so far the best Channel I found for Jeeps is your Channel so you just got yourself a new subscriber

[@malang724]

Saw that you added this on your instagram the other day and hoped a video would soon follow! For me it's 4th gear that pops out every now and then and saw this a while ago but couldn't find any good videos that had an installation and review. You captured the usage perfectly and this shifter is now on my list! I can't believe how crappy the stock shifter is, The shifter partially disconnected while I was driving about 4 months after I bought it brand new from the lot. Love your videos and thanks again for the good review!

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks so much! I hope you do get one eventually, it makes a world of difference.

[@steveybassmac]

Well you've sold me on the shifter now haha! No idea when I'll ever be able to afford it though. The next big purchase for me will be a lift now that I've got the drivetrain all beefed up.

[@daledubourg1763]

this also fits on TJs from 05 & 06 with the NSG370 six speed manual trans

5 year old post but did you ever do it? My 2005 is popping out of first and crunches from 1-2 gear. The rest are great. Curious if this upgrade will correct or just buy a remans.

[@donaldnorman6350]

In this video that was very informative and professional, I learned more about what it takes to do the clutch and flywheel change out. It gave me a real feel how the mechanics preform the work. I would have to say it would be worth my money to have them work on my Jeep.

Anthony Maske I could post up a video of one flopping around like a flag in the wind just going down the interstate.

[@pokeyasd]

Jason's not kidding, it flops around on a dirt road between 2-3 inches, let alone if your crawling over things. This upgrade is definitely on my list!! Also I have the same problem with 3rd gear, it has a mind of its own and pops out as it wiggles, the dealership just says, "that's odd, we couldn't get it to do it." They just know they can't fix it with their parts.

[@pikdiesel]

After having my 2007 JKU Rubicon pop out of first gear for several months, I broke down and ordered this shifter. To say I am pleased with the results would be an understatement! Nearly a month after the new shifter install....not one pop out! The install was easier for me. I was able to get the shifter in without lowering the cross member and\or lower the trans. Much more secure and positive shifts with no vibrations. It is now more fun to drive my '07 with 110K on the clock. If anyone is having the same issues, give this B&M shifter a try.

[@AutoEdits]

Glad to hear this!

[@blakstar64]

So this mod solved your issue of first gear pop out? I have to hold mine in first gear (or else) and since they don't sell the fix anymore, I thought I might try this before going to a new transmission.

[@pikdiesel]

Yes, it did. It has been nearly a month as my daily driver with no pop outs of 1st gear since install. I also read that it would need a trans pull and rebuild to remedy, but a $500 try is worth $2500 or more. The shifts are solid and secure. It takes some time getting used to, but way better than stock feel. I don't want to gaurantee that it will do the same for you, but for me it was worth a try and has been a success. I may need to pull my tranny at some point for clutch replace but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. At that point, I may have a rebuild as I'd like to get 200,000 miles plus out of my JKU. Good luck!

[@pikdiesel]

Rich, so you say there is no true fix for 1st gear pop out? Where have you heard this info? No parts for rebuild? Please explain?

[@blakstar64]

Thanks for the reply! Sounds like it would be worth the try for me also. I'll post how it works for me!

[@bshinn66]

Installed the shifter a few days ago, lever only, not the tower assembly. I did it mainly because of the dog leg in the B&M allowing me to use the front cupholder again. Mine had been popping out of 1st if I was not careful when I put it in gear, and I had intended to buy the shift tower in a few weeks. When I disassembled it, the stock boot was loose from the trans tunnel. I heard about an SB Mopar issued about the boot causing the tranny to pop out of gear. On a hunch, I deleted it when I reassembled. Holy cow, what a difference. The transmission feels totally different. Very little shaking in the shifter, gear changes are rock solid, and so far no more popping out of gear. The stock shift lever is a POS! I was concerned about noise radiating from the transmission without the boot, but it's not an issue. I have no fear of water ingress because the foam doughnut has that area sealed tight. As a bonus, due to the shorter lever, shift travels have been slightly reduced. If you're considering this mod, get the lever 1st, you might just save yourself $469.00. No way in hell I would install the shifter and reuse the stock lever!

[@AutoEdits]

Interesting about that rubber boot. I do think the B&M lever is cooler for sure!

[@blacksheep343]

Nice video. I've been waiting for a product like this for my jk since I got it...

[@andygiametta517]

The stock shift knob is pretty heavy. I swapped it out for a much lighter one made by martin shapes out of recycled surfboards and its a lot better than before. You feel the shift more and it doesnt slop around as much. I am sure this shifter is way better but if you dont have 400 bucks to throw at the problem...

[@AWThethrower]

Andy Giametta heavy shifters tend to help actually. Its just jeep managed to make the worst shifter ive ever used

[@redviking1329]

YOU DIDN'T MENTION TO LET THE LIQUID SEAL CURE... Using the shifter right away can displace the liquid and cause tiny breaks in the seal, which will potentially allow oil to leak out and worse, potentially and let dirt and or water into the gearing housing. Overall good video, another imperfection cleaned up. Good stuff.

I have no idea what transmission Jeep puts in a JK, but for YJ and TJ owners that have the AX15 with the same wobbly shifter can add a Hurst quick shifter that does the same thing for their transmission woes. I put one in my 88 Wrangler over a decade ago and it made a heck of a difference just like this install. Great entertaining video by the way!

[@johnwaddell9347]

I was just curious, after installing the shifter just over two months ago, has it gotten easier/smoother to shift the gears?

[@christopherkatz9484]

I doubt it. Having a shorter throw will mean it will be harder to shift. You have less leverage.

[@mikeybialucha2740]

So i don't think this project is even worth it.. :/ How am I to enjoy shifting if it goes to a more hardened, and cranking feel? Shifting should feel as smooth as butter.

[@biner626]

I’m not sure if you’ve experienced the same problem I have. Mine seems to be easy to miss 5th gear. Your thoughts on the 5th-6th gear transition as well. Just wondering if this would improve those transitions.

[@peterbrophy9442]

Bruce Bracy I seem to have this issue plenty of times. I always thought that I was distracted (not paying attention to what gear I’m in), but then again it’s never an issue on any other manual ride. So I end up putting back in fourth and easing it back into fifth. It feels like to me that the fifth gear should be more off to the right - hard to explain but it happens so often that I guess it is an issue. Glad to see I might not be alone.

[@biner626]

Peter, the gating is strange for sure. They did have to leave a gate far right for Reverse. But, the transition isn’t good.

[@SternDrive]

@@biner626 That's why it is so stupid to put reverse all the way accross the shift pattern on the right. Reverse (a low speed gear) belongs beside the low speed gears. Top left guys! What's so hard about that? The guys that design these transmissions are NOT enthusiasts, and their daily drive is an automatic, so what do they know.

+1 to manuals. One of the best features is the anti roll back on them. Came in handy quite a few times!

I need to get one of these. I replaced the toy transfer case linkage that worked but only barely. I replaced it with an Advanced Adaptors upgrade unit. Now that I can reliably engage both 4H and 4L every time without feeling that I am breaking something it is time to get more precision out of the main stick. Some mods only get used once in a while but this one gets used every time you drive your Jeep.

Awesome video and thank you for sharing. Looks like a great upgrade. I also thank you for showing how to remove the foam, but think I will just order a new one when I take on the project.

So, just completed this upgrade on my 2005 Jeep TJ Rubicon. The "only" downside is I had to do some cutting on the rear portion of my console so I could get the shift into 2nd gear. I also had to cut part of my gearshift floor plan cover gasket. These modifications resulted in my leather shift boot not fitting properly and a bit more transmission noise coming up through the floor boards. The speed shift is tight but I'm told it will loosen up. I like the short shift range - it does make driving the jeep more fun. I'm going to have a friend help modify my shift boot with an extension so it fits properly and I'm going to use some non-flammable rubber sheets to help pad under the console to help with the noise. Took a bit longer than I had planned, but at least I didn't have to drop the gas tank.
