Barton Shifter complete Install - Dodge Challenger Scat Pack

This is a LONG one, start to finish the full Barton Industries Shifter install. My family gave this to me as a Christmas gift and as an added bonus I got the Speed Dawg Rally Series Shift Knob for my Birthday. You can do this!
UPDATE: You will notice in my video I installed the rear bracket with the screws facing the rear. I contacted Barton regarding this and their response "We actually recommend to put the screws facing the back of the car. We never updated out install packet. Keep the shifter the way it is"
UPDATE 2/5/2019 Thanks to: Dana Hirschberg Music
"Called Barton and spoke to Joe today about which way the bolts should face on the rear bracket. Turns out either way is right, it's all bout how much noise there is in post of the install. He said to always start with the bolts facing forward. Then if you have excessive noise put it facing rear. If noise persists then loosen the rear bracket pan bolt and wiggle the shifter to get it to sit in a more neutral position, then tighten the rear bracket pan bolt back up. If noise persists they will send out a special foam piece that will finish off the job. Additionally he noted that putting this shifter on 5 different cars with the same make and model will give 5 different results. The trick is to not install the shifter stiff, but wiggle it around during and after you tighten the bolts. This will allow the shifter to fall into the most neutral and loose position giving the best performance and low noise result.
Also for those who are interested in putting a SpeedDawg ball on your Flat Stick the thread size is 12mm x 1.25 and if you want to buy a different color Flat Stick with engraved color it's $80 shipped with a matching ball."

I don't own a Barton shifter kit, I don't even own a Challenger but I gently pressed that like button for the rainbows the 'R' stands for! :)

Pinned - Best comment so far :)

Look at that. 6 Years later and this video is still being used. I, myself with 6 years in this industry found this video and it made the job effortless.

Thank You 🫡

[@pafishing820]

I remember doing this install and watching this video while doing it with my dad a few years ago on our ‘18 T/A 392, and how helpful the video was, and how thankful he was for it. I remember him telling me to leave a comment and say how helpful the video was, but I never did, so I figured I would now. He has since passed and he didn’t get to drive a ton with the shifter on, but I am the only one who knows how to drive manual in my close family even though I only got my permit a few months back, so I take it out a few times a week with my mom. The shifter feels great and the throw is incredibly short, and would definitely say it’s a very worthy modification. Thank you again for this video it was a savior during the installation.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Sorry for the loss of your dad, I lost mine a few years back and I was so thankful for the time I had with him working on our cars during his last few years. Enjoy the car and the memories. I’m glad I was able to help you guys out 💪

I really like how you walk the viewer thru the process step by step......you make it seem doable for anyone. Great video.

I installed this today and I am literally blown away with how much better it feels. And now my shifter is adjusted to exactly my arm length which makes all the shifts absolutely perfect. You video made it a breeze and I had it installed and adjusted in about 2 hours, so just want to say thanks a million for documenting and sharing here 😎👍

WOW! A rare individual who walks you through an actual install! Great Job! I will be using this as a reference for my Barton upgrade! Thank -You

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Thank you, one of the things that really helped me in making videos is taking note of all the issues I had trying to find good install videos myself. You will enjoy this upgrade, The Barton is totally worth the $$ and effort to install.

[@rightousman]

Doing my 2022 challenge. There are some very minor differences. This video saved me so much time and aggravation. I don't know if I could do it without it. Thanks for one of the best instructional videos I have ever seen.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Thank you I appreciate the kind words.

[@jeffforce2981]

Just installed the Barton in my 2015 Scat Pack. Your video was spot on and far superior to any others I found. You covered everything from beginning to end and definitely saved me a bunch of time on the install. As it was it took me 5 hours, but I'm a bit OCD myself. The manufacturer included no instructions with the shifter and their install video was low quality and did not help at all, but then in was for earlier year models. As excellent as their product is ... and it's fantastic! ... they really should update their video or better yet insert a link to yours! I expected that right side pin to be the toughest problem ... and it was exceptionally difficult ... and so was getting that 10mm bolt out due to the Loctite ... but I actually spent more time trying to get that round rubber boot to stay properly in place when put over the shifter block! Again, outstanding video and commentary and I highly recommended it to any contemplating this install. Kudos!

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Thank you, I'm glad this helped. I did see a lack of info on this when I was researching the Barton so I tried my best to put out a detailed stable cam install. The only thing I was lacking was some grease for those pins ;) It's definitely a great product and has helped my times on the 1/4 mile quite a bit. I was a little nervous about the investment, but it's proven itself very nicely.

[@LarryGoggins000]

You summed it up! Just installed on my TA 392 and those were all the same problems I had. Right pin and getting the boot to stay still lol.

As much time as we spend shifting, the Barton is a no-brainer. It makes the car SOOO much better. Well worth the admission Price. Thank you a million times over for your video. I've installed many shifters, none as difficult as this one. Your video is the best install video online for this mod. Period. Thank you!

Fantastic video. Step by step install. I just installed a Baton Shifter into my 2017 T/A 392. This video was spot on. Thank you for making this video! You saved my bacon since Barton didn’t have squat for install instructions so far as I saw on their website!

Awesome 💪 glad to help

[@NicholasJCanales]

Just bought my 2015 hellcat a month ago and already noticed the shifter would be a problem. Watched a couple videos and I think you have the best Barton install guide, I will be ordering mine in a month and using your video to take me to the promise land. Thank you!

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Nice you won’t be disappointed.

[@gilsgarageofficial]

Your video helped me out a lot! This is probably the only video that is out there for current manual challengers. They’ve made some cooler revisions on their latest model. Now the part where the shifter sits can be adjusted forward or backward too.

[@Sonicboomer4895]

A great walkthrough of the process. Your calm voice and your down-to-earth-behavior made this very enjoyable to watch! Contrary to a lot of other Muscle Car related content. Thank you! I plan to install one next spring and with your help I should do just fine!

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Thank you, Glad to help

[@dg11306]

I installed a Barton on my 2015 Scat Pack using these instructions. Thank you! I think this is the best install guidance on KZbin. One thing I did different that is useful - rather than trying to jam my fingers into the tiny opening on the passenger side on the shifter base to install that pesky pin, I used a set of long needle nose pliers to grip the pin, put it in place, and start seating it. Once I got it started I used my hand to finish pushing the pin in. Anyway, thanks for the video. I miss your Scat Pack, I know everyone wants a Hellcat eventually but the Scat is a pretty solid in drivability, cost, and performance. I’ve subscribed to your channel, there are still a lot of good helps there.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

I miss the scat pack too. My next challenger will be a manual 392. 🧡

[@jacklee6023]

Just installed my Barton shifter. Watching your video helped me understand how to get the console apart without breaking anything. The right side pin actually wasn't too bad. Had more trouble getting the gasket to stay in place on the cover while trying to get it over the shifter assembly. You probably already know about this, but in case you don't- the problem Dan Kowalchick mentioned 4 months ago about Allen bolts is a revision Barton made to the design of the shifter. It now allows for a fore/aft adjustment in addition to the left right. Took my R/T Shaker out for a test drive and OMG it is a night & day difference. Thanks for an excellent video and keep them coming.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Glad it helped, I met up with the Barton guys over in Texas at We are Mopar and saw the new design... Looks like I've got another upgrade planned for the winter :)

[@5kyX0]

Soo I was driving and out of nowhere I had no gear shifter. Just all slush. I later realized I could kinda slop it into gear if I was really careful. Well I finally pull the shifter and the 10mm bolt and both clips had broken off and jettisoned out. Idk how this happened but I'm sure glad I didn't keep driving it like that. Jeeeeze. This video is a life saver. Literally

[@m0rmsbee]

thanks so much for the video. i knocked mine out last night in about 90 mins. No scratches, no snapped clips. for some reason after watching you explain how to work with those pin locks, they were very easy for me to get both off and back on. 🤘

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Thank you, those can be a pain of you're not sure how they work, glad that helped you out.

[@davidvermillion2442]

Had the original prototype when they first hit the scene. Blows away Hurst. The shifts are positive and complete and makes owning a 6 shooter all the worth while. You will not destroy this shifter, period. Great job all around. So far your videos have influenced my purchases, and made them easier to understand and install.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Glad to help in some way. I've been wanting the Barton for over a year, but the cost was always hindering the purchase. After a few failed shifts into 4th at the strip I decided to go for it. 2 weeks to track night, wish me luck.

[@davidvermillion2442]

Work Play Drive best of luck. If you get a chance to review Tuning may I suggest Sean over @ Hemifever. So far one guy is running 11.21 with nothing more than CAI, drags, Throttle body, catless, thermostat. Several into the 11's.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Nice, I'll keep that in mind, no tuning this year. The big ticket items I need to save some cash for and this year I'm redirecting my budget to my wife who wants a new Kitchen. She deserves it, she's been so patient with my "car problem"

[@smokeythebear9293]

Hey work play drive! I just did the install and to say I was extremely nervous was an understatement. As I'm not very mechanically inclined I was scared as all hell. The install took me about five hours with watching your video and pausing after every step. Needless to say I got it done and I'm as happy as can be. I also want to thank you for showing off that rad shift knob. I ended up ordering one as well with the scat pack logo on the side and the two rally stripes. So again I really appreciate you and your videos on youtube they've helped me tremendously. I'm forever grateful man thank you very much kind sir!

[@WorkPlayDrive]

I'm glad I could help, I am mechanically inclined however there is a certain fear about taking apart the car you love. After about a year of ownership I just started experimenting and putting up videos in hopes that others would see the work ahead and maybe have the confidence to tackle it themselves. It's nice to hear it's working :)

I'm so glad you put this video up. I just bought the last year Challenger Hellcat on Saturday and put 700 miles on it right away. It can really use a better shifter and I heard the Barton was great. I'll be getting one in the next month! Thanks for the tutorial

[@KaseyKeahey]

@@hotrodxok11​​⁠​⁠All the big stuff was exactly the same. If I remember right, there’s a rubber piece that goes around the bottom that wasn’t marked and looked different than the vid. Nothing major, just took a minute to figure out which way it was supposed to go (and get it on where it would stay). They’ve revised the shifter assembly for more adjustments since this video, too. That’s all I remember. Still a great video to use.

[@shawnpruitt393]

Mine just come in yesterday. I went through like 3 videos before I found yours. Bro I was so nervous and you took all the nervous away. I’ll be installing tomorrow. Also definitely gonna check your channel for and mod videos before checking anywhere else. Thanks dude!

I just finished up switching out my stock shifter for a new Barton thanks to your video. It was the reason I considered switching and pulling the trigger on getting one. The swap definitely was a pain in some areas but following along with your video certainly made it easier. Funny thing was that right side pin was the easiest part for me. It just slipped right in after struggling for 5 minutes with the left one lol. But thanks a lot for putting this video together. Also, thanks for the speed dog reference as well. I got a nice scat pack shifter that matched up perfectly.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

The Barton Speeddawg combo is so Awesome and glad it helped.

[@ronporter8542]

Finally! After wading through 5 other install videos (including the Barton video), they were all for pre-2015 Challengers with the plastic retainer for the boot. Finally saw this one, and cutting that o-ring worked great! Yeah, with the leather that thick, you can't work the boot all the way down, but I see that yours fit they way it did on my 2018. Great tip!

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Thank you

Tomorrow's project is to install my Barton. My tablet with your video will be on the dash guiding me through. Wish me luck.

[@criss.acteur2671]

Just completed this install two hours ago. Thanks very much for the video! I wouldn't have attempted this without it. Barton's super tight when shifting, still have my leather boot cover off for adjustments, you can here a lot more engine grunt without it! Also installed the skip shift delete at the same time using your video. Thanks again!

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Overall you will hear a little more sound from that area once installed. But nothing loud enough that bothered me for the 3 years I had it.

[@Neketre]

I was eyeing one of these and just did the install today, holy cow it really does reduce the shift throws, but now the whole thing feels like a very precise mechanism. Overall love it. The tip for pulling up by the cup holders was awesome, as I also hate trim removal tools. Hot tip for you, this is something I tried during the removal process (see around 14:15 on this video). To get the second pin out, the one on the right, I actually lifted the whole shifter mechanism and moved it up and forward out of the way. This lets you get at the pin from underneath and there's a lot more room to get your hand in there. Made it a lot easier for me, there was no way I was getting that pin out otherwise. This was also just preference, but when it came to removing the center column, I just lifted it out and set it in the back seat, with the passenger seat angled forward. Thanks for the video, excellent walk through!

[@fjrdriver8924]

Thanks for the video instructions mine arrived Monday 23 of March 2020 and put it in that night .There were no instructions of any kind with it . I had however watched this video several weeks ago and watched it again before I installed it . One thing I did different than you was I removed the pin on the drivers side then slide the one on the passenger side back just enough to pull the shifter out with a finger keeping it from comming out and pushed it in to be sure it didn't fall out while I got ready to put the new in as I started to put it in I pushed the pin flush with the surface put the drivers side in first then pressed passenger side in never having to try to start it back in that tiny space . Barton should be giving you a comission . I don't think I would have bought one had I not seen your video. Thanks again Larry

Absolutely no rattling it was definitely much more stable. You do here a little bit more road noise but nothing annoying.

[@SOLOSOLOSOLOSOLOSOLOSOLO]

@@WorkPlayDrive is the road noise coming directly below the shifter? Maybe that’s the rattling I hear but it might just be road noise. It’s annoying because with the original shifter I never heard anything coming from the shifter. And now anytime I accelerating i hear noise. If I put the gear in neutral there’s no noise. The noise is when it’s in gear, or when I’m accelerating (even if it’s in neutral). I’m thinking the guy who put it left a screw loose or put a rubber in backwards or something. It’s driving me crazy lol

Excellent video! Just finished installing mine, your video was spot on. Only help I needed was getting the ball off the original shifter, was too tight for me to break free. On the right side pin I put a wire tie thru the clip because I kept dropping it under the car, maybe because my long nails. I'm a short person so I set mine all the way over to the left and the forward most position. What a difference this shifter makes! I also got the skip shift delete pigtail thinking I could reach through and put it on at the same time, no such luck. I'll have to do that another day from underneath. Pair this shifter with the clutch delay valve delete and your shift/response times improve drastically!

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Thank You 🙏 the Barton is Definitely one of those modifications that you get to enjoy daily.

[@richardctrimblejr4308]

Just installed shifter. I didn't even know there was a better shifter until I viewed your video. 2016 r/t scat pack 6.4L. If people purchase after black Friday they are giving a discount, I saved about $60. I'm subscribed, love all of your videos. Now if I can just find a video of a supercharger being installed...

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Thank you the supercharger is Next year 😂

2/19/18 Just installed my Barton shifter and Speed Dawg knob in my 2015 Challenger Scat Pack, thanks to your video gave me the confidence to do it myself, took me longer but that's ok lol thanks again, keep making awesome KZbin videos!

[@BrandonSmithSr]

Thanks. I just wanted to say, I was able to put my barton shifter in my 2020 widebody manual with ease due to this video. Thanks. I did not video it but I did take pictures. I will conduct a walk through soon about the mods and updates to the vehicle. Thanks. And I am a subscriber.

Hey glad to help and congrats on that widebody🙌

I just finished installing a Barton Short Throw Shifter in my 2019 Challenger 392. Thanks for your video, it was extremely helpful.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Thank you glad to help.

[@jesuschristislord77733]

@@WorkPlayDrive seriously can't thank you enough, no other video even came close. This shifter is a game changer, makes it feel like I've got a whole new transmission, clutch and flywheel.

Totally agree one of my favorite mods.

Thanks my friend I just finished installing my Barton and love it ! using your directions was super helpful thanks again

[@timbo713]

My Barton just arrived now I just have to wait for the 3 feet of snow outside to melt so I can put this thing on and see if it is as good as they say 😊... It better be. Cost me $700 Canadian to have it shipped here.. LOL Good job on the video you made it look easy.....

Thank you 🙏 you’ll love the Barton it’s an awesome upgrade

Just received my Barton with black & white speed dawg rally ball for my 2015 Challenger Scat. Your install video is incredibly detailed, well done. Thanks a bunch.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Glad to help I've been seeing a lot of Barton + Speed Dawg combos lately, it's like they were made for each other.

[@Farmboymarv]

Love the video. Someone with no mechanical skills could watch this video and complete this swap.

Thank you, that was the goal to encourage the beginner to tackle this themselves.

Im a mechanic u need a little skill. U made it look easy.

Another great video ! I did not watch all 48 but I did watch the beginning until you started and then fast forwarded to the part where you brought in the helper !

[@WorkPlayDrive]

lol the KZbin DVR!

Work Play Drive given I own Camaro I watched the non install

[@WorkPlayDrive]

I do the same watch if it doesn't apply to my car, I stop in to see what you guys are up to flop through the install then watch the reveal.

[@kingsproductions9760]

OMG! NEW SUBSCRIBER! I don't know how I've had my challenger for 2 years and am just now discovering your content. I purchased the Barton shifter recently and upon challengertalk.com recommendation followed your video to do my own install. Thank you so much!

Mine is suppose to arrive Friday, so I suppose ill be in my driveway Saturday with my iPad and this video to follow while I install. Thanks dude.

Awesome and good luck. My recommendation is to put a towel or some cardboard under the car so as you drop tools and those annoying clips you can easily slide it out to retrieve them

[@danahirschbergmusic4529]

My 15yr old son and I installed our Barton shifter yesterday. Our Challenger is a 2012 R/T so the console and steps were slightly different but similar. Funny how we did many of the same goofs like leaning on the console when it was removed LOL. Took us about 3-hours but that's because we took our time and really made sure to go at it slowly. WOW! This shifter is amazing and defiantly what should have come with the Challenger. It's a tad bit more noisy with the gears but that makes it more raw and cool. I know it didn't make the car faster but it sure feels like it when being able to shift much more positive. Thank you for your time showing us laymen how to do things we never would be able to do without video instruction. Curious, you installed the rear bracket bolts facing rear and in post Barton suggested that was correct. I installed with bolts facing forward as their video suggested. Do you know why the bolts need to be rear vs. front? Is it for noise distribution?

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Thank you and glad to help. It's awesome to hear you installed with your son, I'm thankful for all the things my dad has taught me. maybe not so much at the time, but all of it has come in handy once I went off on my own. When I called Barton to question the Bolts they never explained why, they just confirmed the way I installed them is their new preferred method. which means both are correct ...I guess. I too noticed the added noise when in lower gears. Some go nuts installing sound proofing, but like you I enjoy the sounds she makes.

[@danahirschbergmusic4529]

Yes it was awesome installing the shifter with my son. We dove in playing to win and came out victorious. Now the kid is itching to drive even more. Soon enough, soon enough... I emailed Barton requesting more info on why the rear bracket needs to be installed bolts rear. I was a tad bit worried about the increased gear noise just because I thought it may have been installed wrong but realistically it's sounds like what a high performance car should sound like. I will follow up if Barton has any technical reasons for the bolts facing rear. Members in my car club state installing bolts rear and bolts front with no difference in sounds or performance [shrug]. Thank you as always for making these videos and inspiring us to do more on our awesome cars. It does make my wife jealous and she states from time to time "You rub that car more than you rub me".

[@WorkPlayDrive]

See the trick is to play with the car when the wife is a sleep 😉 this way she doesn’t get jealous. My son now 6 hangs out any helps. I was thinking of seeing how far he can get with changing the oil. He knows what tools are what and knows how to use them. If you hear anything technical from Barton please feel free to share

[@danahirschbergmusic4529]

Called Barton and spoke to Joe today about which way the bolts should face on the rear bracket. Turns out either way is right, it's all bout how much noise there is in post of the install. He said to always start with the bolts facing forward. Then if you have excessive noise put it facing rear. If noise persists then loosen the rear bracket pan bolt and wiggle the shifter to get it to sit in a more neutral position, then tighten the rear bracket pan bolt back up. If noise persists they will send out a special foam piece that will finish off the job. Additionally he noted that putting this shifter on 5 different cars with the same make and model will give 5 different results. The trick is to not install the shifter stiff, but wiggle it around during and after you tighten the bolts. This will allow the shifter to fall into the most neutral and loose position giving the best performance and low noise result. Also for those who are interested in putting a SpeedDawg ball on your Flat Stick the thread size is 12mm x 1.25 and if you want to buy a different color Flat Stick with engraved color it's $80 shipped with a matching ball. Hope this helps clear somer things up...

nice that's some serious detail I'm going to add it to the description so it does not get lost. Thank you!!!

I still dream about that car :) congrats and glad I could help!

[@RGeraciOA5599]

Bought a new 2017 392 T/A, Just started also realizing that a upgraded shifter is a must. Found your video, good job you where very thorough and it will come in handy since the last shifter that I re installed was on my 1970 pistol grip 4 speed 440 Six Pack Challenger. Thanks for your time and a well done video! I look forward to my own shifter upgrade this spring! Let us know how it performs at the track!

[@michaelmarks5012]

First let me say that I thoroughly enjoy watching your DIY videos. It truly is some of the best camera work I've seen & explained in detail no matter how small the job. I followed your video for my install of a Barton shifter & it went well, however I noticed that at 22:40 you installed the rubber block with the bolts facing to the rear of the car...the Barton install video says to install the block with the bolts facing the front of the car. I installed mine as you did, then I noticed the difference in the Barton video. Will this matter? I doubt it.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Thank you and awesome attention to detail. I installed it in that manner because it made the most sense for clearance. As with most videos after I edit down the recordings I verify the install was correct, when I got to that part I realized I did it the opposite way Barton instructed and contacted Dave who said - Quote Dave at Barton "We actually recommend to put the screws facing the back of the car. We never updated out install packet. Keep the shifter the way it is, Thank you for reaching out."

[@sgthop]

Bruh. Why no zip driver? Could have undone all of the screws inside with a driver in the time it took you to do one screw. That said, I really enjoyed this. I was considering doing this shifter, and had seen other videos about the benefits, along with a couple install videos. None were quite so easy to watch. You have a great personality for this kind of work. Keep it up.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Thank you... you would think since I take my cars apart a few times a week I'd have one... but it's one of those things I've never picked up.

[@sgthop]

@@WorkPlayDrive Interesting! But, I guess it comes down to personal preference. Less chance of ruining things with a manual driver too. I'll probably be picking one of these up, the install looks super simple. Way easier than on the Mustangs.

[@thepaddonman]

Great videos, came across your channel yesterday and already spent hours watching your videos, iv'e got some cool ideas out of your videos that i wouldn't mind doing to my challenger now. keep up the good work

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Thank you!

[@jeffreystewart8477]

I watched your video about 10 times😅 while waiting for mine to arrive. I was able to do it almost hassle free beside that passenger side pin🥵. Pretty easy install besides that. I got the OEM version, didn’t really care for the Barton stick or ball. I got this sick screaming skull head from Amazon and bought a Short Stick from EBay, looks way better for me. Thanks for being so thorough and editing the video so it perfectly explained step by step. Appreciate you🫡 Review: If your thinking of getting it…. GET THE BARTON SHIFTER NOW. I put it on my 2016 Manual R/T and OMFG 😲😲😲🤤🤤🤤 the difference is night and day. It makes driving a stick feel like driving what a muscle car of the future would/should feel like. The ability to angle the stick to your custom liking is 🔥🔥🔥 It’s soooo stiff, different from any stick I’ve ever driven and I started driving in a stick. It literally cuts down on the length of the throw shifting from gear to gear. The challenger sticks fu(kin SUCKS… Let’s just be honest. I LOVE THIS THING. IM SOOOO GLAD I BOUGHT IT. DODGE SHOULD HAVE CAME STOCK WITH THIS…. WTF DODGE!!??!?

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Thank you. And Hey if Dodge put it in at the factory DIY people wouldn’t get the joy of knowing they installed the best shifter themselves 💪

[@MrDarndak]

It appears that Barton makes a great product. The price is what I can’t stomach. Great video, sir.

[@MrDarndak]

Primaul I ended up purchasing one and let me tell you! AMAZING!

MrDarndak nice!!! I’ve been hearing how great it is and I’d love to swap from that stock shifter to the Barton sometime soon. Glad you like it though!
