I'm a fan of B&M shifters in general but not this one. I don't like having to put it in drive to access reverse. It's very counter-intuitive. I bought the Stealth pro-ratchet instead. It's compact, 100% intuitive, simple and works great.

The reverse lockout Trigger thing on mine is broken. It snapped in half. Turns out it's made of pot metal. I'm pissed. What do I do to get another one?

I love how b&m don't bother to reply to you. They just lost me a potential customer because of this.

This shifter really looks great when installed, unfortunately it operates very poorly. Has sloppy play and is a pain to try to remember how to operate it. Worst part is there is no lock out between drive and neutral which can cause you to blow your engine.

B&M should have put the reverse lock-out on the neutral position, too. In case you start in 2nd but you think it's in low. Slap what you think is second gear, but it's drive, then slap it again into neutral and hit the gas again.

With the 4 speed AOD does the ratchet work the same? Do you push forward through all the gears 1-4?

Will this work on a 1984 AOD 4R70 transmission on my foxbody.
@BMRacingPerformance6 жыл бұрын
Yes it will. The majority of our shifters will fit a number of GM, Ford and Chrysler applications. For the AOD, AODE and 4R70W transmissions you will need to add an installation kit as well. Please give us a call at 707-544-4761 for additional shifter options and pricing. - Jason @ B&M Racing

@BMRacingPerformance6 жыл бұрын
Yes, it will work. You will need to add the B&M Racing Bracket and Lever Kit for Ford AOD, part# 40496. Along with the shifter, part# 80885. The shifter will include all the hardware, cable and instructions to get the install done. If you need any assitance during the adjustment or installation process just give us a call at 707-544-4761. We're here to help! - Jason @ B&M Racing

How do you prevent hammering it into neutral, if you get excited and forget what gear it’s in...?
@BMRacingPerformance6 жыл бұрын
As stated in the video The Hammer Shifter has a reverse lockout trigger that needs to be pulled to access the reverse gear. This insures that the shifter cannot accidentally be put into reverse during “spirited” driving.

What he means is: why isn't there a lockout between 3rd and Neutral? When you're banging gears you can possibly forget you're in 3rd. If you bang it into neutral foot to the floor.. *BOOM* bye Felicia! I've been wondering the same thing. Just ordered a Megashifter and am pissed it doesn't have a Neutral lockout.

I got a 2004 mustang gt auto and you can go from 1st to drive without having to press the button on the handle it will just slip in to 2nd and drive from 1st gear just by pushing forward on the handle but if you try to go to neutral or reverse it locks you out unless you press the button on the handle so just get a shiny handle on your stock shifter and your good to go.......no need to spend over 200 bucks and spend all day putting it in and adjusting it, not worth it.

Notice how B&M avoided answering your question about neutral. It's a poor design.

I currently have this shifter in my 97' mustang GT.. I bought it for the stock transmission and then I went to a PA C4 transmission when I needed a better transmission to match the horsepower from my motor, Now, I'm over 1500hp and once again swapping in a th400 to back the 5.4's horsepower. For me to keep the console mounted shifter what conversion kit is available now? Or go with another b&m shifter.. I only like it because it goes into the stock location.

Hi BirdieBert, Sorry to hear that. It is not supposed to do that. If it goes straight from Neutral to Reverse without touching/lifting the lockout lever, there is an issue with the shifter. Please call our Techline at (866) 464-6553 for help.

my brother has one we put in his 93 mustang. I don't know if it's just all worn out or not but it sure is a floppy turd for a shifter. It moves side to side and feels all loose. With the comments, i think we got one right on par with the others. I was expecting it to be tight like a quicksilver at least probably never be as solid as a pro ratchet. Really sucks you still have to do the 1-2-1 shift on his aod. I was hoping with the tci valve body and all we could do away with it, I guess not. If im doing that im more used to the stock aod shifter, never had a issue with it
