Yea, the od button on the stocker sux as well, I'm ready to put it on the steering wheel in place of one of the cruise buttons. I like that B&M shifter though. I've got long legs so I have to sit back, but i have short arms so I have to bend forward to shift.

Here's a video I've found of this shifter. Helps if you speak Spanish but you get the idea

here's a few pics of 'er in, vid will come this week.

Having long arms is nice, but being tall with the seat all the way back does make you have to lean in a way to upshift

oh, and the red LED light that illuminates what gear your in was dead on arrival, so ima have to contact the seller and try to get a free new one.

The only thing I don't like is the location of the O/D button.

Couple questions:
What does that cost, btw? I like the idea of how it shifts

How far does it move forward/backward during the shifting process?

What's involved in the installation process? (how long does the instruction sheet specify?)

IIRC, that was only made for the 96-98 model years, or no?

Part number on the box?

Thanks.

1. $199.99
2. moves i'd say about 2-2.5 inches. Its a good amount, enough so that you cant really do it by accident.
3. Someone who does this kinda thing often it takes about 2-2.5 hours. If not, than about 4-5
4. It's for 96-04
5. Hammer Shifter #81001

want to sell me your stocker cheap?

CobraRed_96_GT · Aug 6, 2007

Packaging to IL would cost as much as a stocker is worth, lol

Any draining of fluid required to install?

Bubba Z. · Aug 7, 2007

What are your impressions so far driving around with it?

Looks great...looking forward to your video!

Ive had mine for over a year now and when left in D its exactly the same. When manually shifting the trans, it feels alot more positive with this shifter vs. the stocker. With the stocker, it clicks into place whereas the Hammer feels like it locks into place.

CobraRed_96_GT · Aug 7, 2007

yeah, no fluid dropped on the install. The manual shifts are a bit more positive, definitley faster tho. Only thing i dont like is having to nudge it up once, lift the paddle - move it up then nudge it again to go from Drive to park instead of just being able to lift the paddle and move it all the way up. Takes some getting used to (especially since i have no red LED to show me my gear right now) but i love it.

It's hard to tell from that Spanish video, but with every up/down shift, do you have to mess with the paddle or just push/pull the shifter?

BennyBlown2v · Aug 7, 2007

Gotta use the trigger thingy to get from p-r-n and same for going the other way around. Forward gears you just bump it.

you just push/pull. You only need to lift the paddle when moving out of park or up to reverse.
The shifts are as soon as you push the shifter up in most cases. At part throttle it'll do it when ever you want, while in hard throttle the 1-2 shift will do when told but the 2-3 (or 2-D) will shift right when told if your high enough in the rpm's, but if your still climbing em it'll wait to shift into third cuz it's technically in Drive.

Actually you only have to lift it from park-reverse, you can pull it down from reverse to neutral.

Yeah, but you can't go from D to N without lifting it, correct?

Yes you can, makes for easy revving

CobraRed_96_GT · Aug 7, 2007

I'm making a new thread for the vids so it'll help someone searching about this shifter

san~man · Aug 8, 2007

Did you do a write up?

BTW, where did you pick up the shifter and handle from? I found it on Amazon with free shipping, so for me (Hawaii), that may be the cheapest seller since shipping usually costs about $20.00 extra to get here.
