B&M Short shifter. complete breakdown

[zenki.life]

ok so some of you have asked me about the B&M shortshifter for a KA/SR.

i finally was coaxed to take one apart and take pictures to show you how it is supposed to go together. surprisingly there is no accurate info about how this goes together. hope this helps everyone, and give me a break this is my first write up


1. Here you can see what components consist of this shifter. If you are missing any parts now you will know

2. These are the tiny internal components. They consist of the spring, spring retainer, and the cylinder thing that holds them(dont know what to call it) there are two sets, one for each side.

This is the empty cylinder type object that the spring and spring retainer sit in

3. Here is the same cylinder with the circular spring retainer slipped inside

4. Spring fits on top of the retainer

5. This is how the cylinder fits against the shifter rods

6. here is how the cylinder should fit against the shifter rods while inside the housing

7. The shifter rods should touch the bottom of the housing followed by the cylinder on top like in example 6.

8. This is the shifter halfway in the housing with the cylinders on top

9. The shifter plate is then placed on top of the springs and screwed into place.

yep what he said. figured that one was kinda obvious so i didn't post how to do that. lol

[g-via]

cool for taking the time to actually do this

i had to put mine together when i replaced my tranny for my car, had to scratch my head in the beginning

I don't have the spring retainer, but Mine seems to be just fine. I've taken it apart about 6 or 7 times.

hey zenki, i would give you a +1 for this if i could.

i was looking online for this exact information for like 30 minutes and i found it here on zilvia in like 20 seconds.

i couldnt figure it out on my own ;P and mine was apart. thanks again

yes. this was the very reason i did this. because B&M doesnt want you to take apart their product, there is no info on how to do it. ive looked everywhere at anything, diagrams, pics, ect. i found nothing. so at least now there is real information on the web.

sorry B&M lol

Great write up! Now I just need to buy 1.
Anyone selling a B&M short shifter?

[EZADesigns]

So, I have a question. When I assemble my B&M Short Shifter. It's VERY lose and I can see it moving around from the shifter part where the springs are. I am trying to think what it could be.

Thanks
