even at my advanced age with all the things i have seen and done. as with most things, it's pretty apparent when you have it in the wrong hole. some things never change Doug.

[@BlytheLifeRacing]

Don’t pick the wrong hole, make sure it slides in and out smoothly. 👍🏻

Lube helps,if it's been having difficulty sliding smoothly,or so I hear.

[@VYG4300]

That's what she said.🤣

MY GOODNESS!!! It's such GREAT INFORMATION! You know what? You should create a separate channel, something like "Motion Raceworks Official Tech Tips" and simply repost these great tutorials. I went "wrenching" with my friends as soon as I finished watching the video. TWO THUMBS UP!

[@gradyfarrer5146]

it is BY FAR best to do this with the pan off...make sure the detent is falling in the correct position on the rooster comb. Also...with the pan off...you can make sure your dipstick is marked properly for "full" because most aftermarket dipsticks are way off for the "full" mark

[@kylehausermann6541]

I have that same shifter in my ranger and it binds going into and out of gears. Mainly reverse and park. When I get back 2 my dads garage definitely 1st thing I'm going 2 do. They keep telling me 2 just get a new shifter. Thanks so much!

[@almostoemgarage8143]

Learned this lesson recently 😂 I did the ol tensile strength test on my shift cable when pulling the original engine and trans out together. Didn't realized it actually stretched and snapped the plastic clip in the center console and I drove it the first couple tests drives like that. Was definitely in between gears... RIP 700r4 😅

How bout a video on the steering column side. Got a 93 Eddie Bauer explorer in great shape I just LOVE! I only bought it a month ago. But as I was changing fluid n filter and needed to make adjustments because previous owner for some reason(what I’m told is he always pulled trailers a lot(has a huge radiator and extra trans cooler) and didn’t want 4th gear) AL4E(or those letters n # in different order) pain in the rear! Thank you for the great videos!

[@normalhuman9260]

OH MAN!!! My dad had that same vehicle,he passed away and I would love to find one now. His was stick shift,and would climb a tree! Damn good ride to have if you have bad roads to climb.

[@rb88dhb]

@@normalhuman9260 I would MUCH prefer a stick! Ppl have gotten so lazy! Can’t even shift a car! Manuals are so much easier to Work on and replace for less!

[@dominicnigro8142]

Great tip, about ready to throw my freshened up trans back in the car. Manual vb, new converter and likely an aftermarket shifter, this will definitely help keep me from flushing a lot of money down the drain

[@rayadhali6136]

yoo! THANK YOU... looking all over on how to adjust it properly.......

[@x7warrior735]

Awesome Presentation 🎥🎬Great Job ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@supercharged6771]

Cool, great video, thanks...transmission midplate mount type, aluminum/steel and shimming the flywheel

[@tyronemorina4306]

My first time watching great advice. Working on corvette C3 but it all works. Thanks 🙏🏾 nosale

[@JohnRoberts71]

Great content thanks for sharing, very informative

[@gustavoesqueda9964]

Thanks learn a lot …!

[@davepalmer4125]

What shifter cable are you using? I'm Running a 4l80e in a 3rd gen firebird

[@wayneshotrods]

Fighting this now

[@6xcchamber971]

I am trying to get my powerglide linkage hooked up. I wanted to used the Factory 95 mustang shifter with it? Could you give me a parts break down I will need to hook mine up?? Much appreciated thank you!

[@1999evo1]

Very useful information. Keep it up 👍

[@andrewmorgan3847]

I’ve ran B&M shifters forever and they were never really perfect as far as adjustment but they work. I put a precision performance products shifter in my car last year and the adjustment is perfect and that’s with a C4 transmission

[@allnoyz7895]

Nice. Thanks.

[@jmendozas197]

Thanks for the tip!

[@susanasanders-dr9pp]

Good video

[@musketballmatt6773]

Thanks for this!

[@amirkhanahmadzai4963]

My v6 4runner 2007 Shifting thru all gears well but cant shift to 5th gear even manually i tried on highway from L to 4 gear but when i put in D it still in 4th gear. And from stop to start when i put from park to drive it engage in gear. Drive on shifter working but cant shift to 5th gear. The problem occurs when ichange the neutral safety switch. I think they misaligned the linkage. Because no cel no code on car.

[@MrLangleylad]

Love the tech tips

[@javijaramillo5749]

Thanks you save my life

[@BoostedRide]

[@turnerwrenchingchannel3411]

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

We have one on our channel

[@rmxrider20032000]

Was not aware B&M was selling made in China parts. Thanks.

[@lewisdeclouette6342]

Appreciate it

[@maniacalmonster2293]

Is this safe to do with your vehicle on the ground? Popping the cable off and shifting gears like that while under the car? I guess I only ask cuz I dont currently have a parking brake at the moment.

[@danjanes8689]

Do you have two bricks?

[@tonyroma7599]

Wow 4 minutes in and nothing about the video and then a commercial comes.

[@Shapparaal]

Interesting, I just watched this video the whole way through even though I will never willingly own a transmission equipped with a torque converter.

[@rb88dhb]

Smart man! I prefer Manual trans myself! I hope you weren’t referring to a CVT.

[@anthonywilliams-vx4cm]

If gear shifter moves stiff.what is the problem

[@normalhuman9260]

The braided cable has frayed and needs replaced. It will get worse very quickly as well. I know you asked this 10 months ago,hope it worked out for ya.

[@jar895]

Is ok to mount CO2 tank horizonal ?

[@Nebbia_affaraccimiei]

here after Cooper's video

[@anthonywilliams-vx4cm]

If hear shifter moves stiff.what is the problem.

[@rb88dhb]

In my experience a rusty cable or bent linkage to trans or both RUSTY.

[@colmhain]

These days? For at least 50 years.

[@lonnyself3920]

morning teachers

[@pistol850]

I sure wish my piece of crap Chevrolet Tahoe transmission was like that and that easy to adjust know mine only has a plastic clip with four arms on it that falls apart and breaks it if you try to take it on and off about three times and you have to guess wherever it's going to be sitting

[@joecameron3406]

Manufacturing processes are no where near as good as they were I went through 3 shifters before I got 1 that worked correctly

[@georgegouvas27]

china parts are great, you don't see there cars crapping out,, its the american companies that buy the cheap versions so they can jack prices up to resell in america
