i have the b@m shifter and everytime i shift hard to second, it goes in but grinds really bad. also with 4th gear. does anyone know how to realign the shifter tabs to the cables to the correct position?
thanks

Shift Cable Adjustment

Set the parking brake.
Remove the cup holder.

(Picture with Arm rest and arrows pointing up)

Lift and unlock the shift cable retainers.

(Picture with arrow facing shifter boot, and clip disengaged)

Push the shifter neutral lock clip.
Move the shifter slightly in order to center the lock clip.
Ensure that the transmission is in neutral.

(Picture with armrest, arrow pointing down)

Press and lock the shift cable retainers.

(Picture with clip reengaged)

Pull the shifter neutral lock clip to its original position.
Install the cup holder.

The pics are now posted under the gallery, under truray4

yeah, that. i think mine may be a little off, since I installed the short throw. it slipped from my marks, but i don't have any grinding.


once in a while it comes back out of third.

My car did that and it was becuase the cables had come unclipped from the area I circled in this picture. I cliped it back in place and haven't had a problem since.
