Hey guys, looking at a B&M Shift Plus for the 07' 2.4L.

How is it installed, and will it void the factory warranty?

subscribed im interested too

BTW, i did search and read the install article on the 2.2L engine, but the wires might be different on the 2.4L '07s.

Has anyone even done this install on the 2.4?

My only other main concern is warranty. I would install it with some sort of quick disconnect, so it could be removed for warranty work, but will it void any warranties if left installed? I would only run it on Stage 1...

the install is easy i wired it up for a buddy with a 2.4 theres just 2 wires on the shift plus..he loves it.. as fair as the warranty well thats just like any dealership it will depend on the one you go to..

they cant void the warranty on the hole car at most they would try and do is the tranny and then they would still have to prove that the shift plus cause the problem

use a search bud... there are TONS of posts on this. its perfectly safe, there will be no voiding of warranty, my dealership commented on how they liked the way my car shifted. its been intalled on 2.2's and 2.4's and its perfectly safe

I did search, but I was wondering which wires to tap for the 2.4 is all.

OrngBalt

same wires, but wires may be orange instead of red

Panici

How can I be sure?

wdsoccer

how bout when you go to the dealer dont mention you have it. ta da.........they wont kno unless you tell em you got it.

Panici

No, actually I meant how can I be sure that i'm tapping the right wires? This is an expensive car i'll be messing with.

its gona be and orange with a black stripe and a light blue with a white stripe thats how it was with mine wich is an 06 i think its 05 and early 06 with the red wire late 06 and 07 have orange very easy install u cant really do it wrong if u fallow the how to on this site.

i did just help a buddy install this on his 07 and it was and orange wire not red

Trust me its orange. I did it on my car. Theres one orange. Its a great addon people get scared it slams like that, trust me its actually good for our cars. One thing I will tell you. If you want to switch it to one, two, or off. You must have the car turned off. Nothing bad will happen if you try to in drive, it just wont work.

I have an 07 Coablt 2.4 SS sedan and I have this mod. I can tell you its well worth it and very easy to install. The wires DO change color in late 2006 I believe. The black wirre gets taped into the blue (I think) wire and the red to the orange wire. Its an easy mod that if your worried about the dealer giving you grief over it can be removed and they'd have to HUNT to find where it had been installed at all.

Jack wheres yours hidden? Mines in the console behind the door, on the left side of the wheel. Its hidden nicely along with my old sunglasses and some other random items.

I mounted the box under the dash with double sided tape and placed the switch under the steering column where it meets the dash. I ran the wires thru the rubber plug in the fire wall and under the fuse box and ABS modual and hard wired it in so as to not use those horrid wire taps. Then where the wire was visible it was covered in that black plastic shield and it blends right in with the factory stuff. Totaly stealth!

Sodex

Haha nice. mine is set up the same, only problem is I used wiretaps. Oh well? I wish it was alot more fiercer so I can chirp all the time.

Jackalope

The only issue I have with it is it kicks in that damn traction control at times.

Sodex

Yeah I hate that, there has to be a way to turn that crap off. Chiltons will tell me, hopefully.

I would replace the wire taps with some other connection like butt connectors or male/female connectors.
