Why should I buy a B&M Automatic Shifter?
B&M invented the racing automatic shifter and still leads the way today. We offer the widest range of applications, functions and styling in the world. B&M Automatic shifters are easy to install and come with detailed instructions.
Key benefits:
Control - The installation of a B&M shifter greatly improves the driving experience. Having the ability to manually shift through the gears allows the driver to maximize the engines power curve.
Applications - B&M offers shifters that fit into the existing console, as well as shifters with a universal replacement console unit.
Racing shifters - B&M has been in the racing arena and delivering sophisticated transmission controls longer than anyone. B&M shifter equipped cars have placed their drivers in the winner's circle for over 50 years. The choice is clear.
Transmission Protection - Most B&M automatic shifters prevent the transmission from being accidentally shifted into reverse while driving.
Shifting Mechanisms - There are three types of shifter actions or internal mechanism designs. Ratchet, gate and detent.
Ratchet: Moving the stick 'ratchets' it to the next gear only - eliminating overshifting. The stick returns to the original upright position readying it for your next shift.
Gate: Utilizes a plate with stepped notches that act as stops from gear to gear. Gates may be horizontal or vertical.
Detent: Utilizes a spring loadedtab for each gear. This is designed for positive shifts, not racing.
