Additional Pics and tips

bm-snapoutcupholder.jpg (22784 bytes) The cup holder snaps up and out. Then you'll see the 4 Phillips screws that hold the rear portion of the center console in.
shifter-consolescrew.jpg (60583 bytes) Removing the 2 front console screws.
shifter-rearconsolescrew.jpg (60716 bytes) Removing the rear 2 console screws.
bm-consolehooks.jpg (24276 bytes) There are hooks at the front where the rear part overlaps the front part. Lift up carefully to disengage them.
bm-switchwire.jpg (29167 bytes) Unplug the wires under the front. There is a clip you need to press.
shifter-switchout.jpg (61115 bytes) The switch will pop up and out to allow easier access to the wire connector.
bm-ciglighterwire.jpg (16818 bytes) Unplug the cigarette lighter and lighter light wires
bm-stocksnapout1.jpg (59039 bytes) To disconnect the shift cable, pry out the two wire clips at the side and lift the sleeve out of the rectangular cable end.
bm-stock-snapout.jpg (26458 bytes)  
bm-pryoffsleeve.jpg (20851 bytes) Pry the ball sleeve end off the stock shifter. Snap the ball sleeve onto the B&M shifter.

bm-stickin2.jpg (71681 bytes)  
bm-bigwasher.jpg (27215 bytes) Put the big washer behind the spring.
bm-longbolt.jpg (29037 bytes) Putting the long bolt through the ball cover.
bm-throwrear.jpg (28279 bytes) We measured a 1" reduction in shift knob travel with the B&M short shifter installed.
bm-throwfront.jpg (29901 bytes) Stock travel was about 3 1/2", B&M travel was 2 1/2" travel.

Effort is not hard or stiff feeling at all.

bm-installed.jpg (74094 bytes) Ready to put the console back together.
bm-knobinstalled.jpg (23105 bytes) The B&M shift knob installed.
bm-knobinstalled2.jpg (24763 bytes) The threads on the B&M shifter are the same thread pattern (10mm x 1.25) as the stock shifter. But the stock shift knob has the threads too deep up in the knob to work properly with the B&M shifter. You can also use just about any other aftermarket shift knob.
