B & M Floor Shifter In 73 Duster
Easy to do. Hardest part is cutting the rug.
Remove the driveshaft to get to the bolts of the shifter. This makes tightening them down easy.
The routing of the cable. You must take care not to let it hit the header or exhaust pipe. Once the plastic caseing melts, shifting is impossible. (Guess what I did)
Replacement cables are avialable and cheap. I ended up with one a foot shorter.
It helped in keeping it clear of the header, but did stiffen up the movement of the shifter and increased effort slightly.
The instructions state drill hole *** distance from the shifter. This gave a slight bend on the cable. The hole could have been closer. Bewawre of the underside of where your drilling. There could be a brace underneath.
You may also want to shim the shifter at the front of it to help the angle so the cable isn't bent at all.
I provided pictures of my install in the ruff. (Where it stands today)
