So what's the problem? Just reinstall your factory shifter and don't forget the TV cable.

So after taking the cable off the car they drilled out the holes on the shifter bracket and my issue is I'll adjust the cable with both in od then I'll have park but not 1, what's been some of the main issues with the BM hammer shifter? I got to shift it and it moves but the gear selector doesn't move,it's hard to explain and I can't find a diagram for the shifter cable route and this aod selector that goes in the bushing is junk so any hardware I could use would be great and what to do with the black sleeve on the shifter cable,I read ita for installing it I'm trying to sell it so I just need this to work thank you

Not sure if this'll help but, it's a '93 AOD with factory Mustang shifter/linkage but it's not in a Mustang.
This is cable routing.......



Looks like your PO's may have elongated the holes on the bracket. Here's the factory bracket mounting.......





Here's the shifter cable/lever in Park position.......

Ya the holes are huge and I can't get any slack out of the cable.what can I do to get the bracket to sit correctly,washers or bigger nut since mines bolts on to of another nut if that's even correct

You probably need to find another bracket or, weld up the holes in your bracket then drill new ones.

The factory cable wasn't designed to run straight. On Mustangs, it loops around inside the transmission tunnel IIRC. Also, I believe the bracket is integral with the shifter cable.

If you're talking about the black rubber sleeve, it stays where it is. It's just added protection/reinforcement for where the cable loops. I don't know what blue circle you're talking about.

I installed the B&M Hammer shifter in the late '90's when the factory shifter broke. I don't recall drilling any new holes during installation, although it has been a minute since that time.

It's always worked just fine, well,....when the car was running that is.
