Find the wires, and tap into them with the B&M, then flip the switches and go, its right in the How-To

It doesnt get any simpler

I tried making a stage 3 today, but i didnt get any response (changes) in line pressure, Im going to try reverse engineering the B&M further. I hope its resistance based and not IC based

BTW, I got my 1-2 upshift to chirp my Pirelli P6's on dry pavement today

I just received the B&M shift plus, but when I went to look for the red wire with a black stripe I only found an orange wire with a black stripe and the wire that is twisted together with another is also orange.maybe the 06 has different color wires? has anybody installed this on an 06 coupe?please help. Thanks.

make sure the metal in the wires are touching. this happened to me the first time. the insulation wasnt penetrated enough for the wires to actually touch

Just put mine in this weekend and it makes a big difference. I love it, and it has a nice jerk coming of the line but is it good to leave it on stage 1 all the time. JW

Just giving a friendly bump since there is a group sale on this now and I am sure the people who forget about the "search" function will be asking.

Hack: Great how to bro. Just finished installing mine (couldn't wait for the weekend) and I love it. Picture's definitely helped. By the time I was ready to do it when I got home from work I already knew exactly what to look for and do. Took 1/4" off the transmission lines, took 1/2" off the shift plus, wrapped em around eachother, threw the clip on it and closed em up. The shift is nice as hell. I reccommend for any auto, I got mad looks just hitting it on the Highway and my car is bone stock.

Step 5: Pull the wires out of the wiring loom, locate the Light Blue wire with a white stripe, and the Red Wire with a Black stripe ---- IMPORTANT ---- there are two red wires with black stripes, you want the one that is NOT twisted with another wire! ----


And use a wire tap, dont cut the wires

ok i got my car back from the dealer, and ready to install this. I'm not sure how to connect the wires to the car's wires. I got this pink thing and blue thing that looking like they will be used connecting the two wire together but not exactly sure how. Anyone know what i'm talking about?

Those are wire taps. if you open them up you will see that there are two "compartments" One goes all the way through, where the other one has a barrier halfway. You want to insert the B&M wire into the slot that goes halfway, and insert the tranny wire into the other one, then clamp down on it to make the connection.

Good luck!
