well i finally go tmy B&M short shifter, but im confused about the two bolts at the bottom, i dont now wat they mean and where it really is!. wondering if anybody can take pics or have pics of it. i know its under the car but dunno where.
mods move this to whereever it belongs
well i got to work, but the two front nuts are a BITCH!!! there is no fucken room to work with it, the install says to crawl under the car, but theres no room to work either!
any help in getting those two front bolts is welcome

Just be glad yours came with instructions. I got mine from the enjuku group buy and for some reason it didn't. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'>
Anyway, the easiest way to get at the bolts is with a typical hand wrench with a slight angle to one end. Theres probably a better technical name for it than that. I did it from in the car. After getting it loose, just use your hand, which is possible but painful from inside the car.

actually, i did get mine from Enjuku Group Buy. along with that, i got a bunch of B&M and Enjuku decal too.
UPDATE: well i finished my install on the B&M short shifter..but the two front bolts, i couldnt tighten it down becuz i had no more room for the wrench to move! so i crawled under the car and tighted it by hand..tightened it as hard as i can by hand, do you think that is fine? or should i go and try to tighten it again with something so it will be safe? ive tried to tighten it with something but i cant move it anywhere anymore. thats the best i can do. do you think if i leave it, it will be fine?

no. it *will* leak. go back under there with a crescent wrench and get them tight. they even make ratcheting box-end wrenches...go buy a set from Sears. makes the job much easier.
