Default B&M Shifter install help.

I am about to do a swap for my stock hurst for a B&M Ripper Shifter. But the person I am buying it from said that we might not be able to install the shifter because we need to adjust the stops for a new shifter and adjust the first and researve. He doesn't know how to do it neither do I. If these adjustments are true can someone please guide me to some instructions on how to install the B&M Shifter. I need help fast guys, we're doing the swap tomorrow morning. Thanks everyone!

Just installed the B&M shifter and to tell you the truth I don't feel that its any of a shorter shift then the hurst shifter that comes in WS6 and SS. The guy I swapped with didn't have the stop screws so we installed it without adjusting the stops. Is that maybe why I am not noticing a shorter shift then the hurst? Need help again guys, thanks!

I have the Pro 5.0 with the stops backed all the way off. The transmission has its own stops. The ones on the shifter are kind of overkill unless you are really slammin' the **** out of your shifter when you change gears.

By anychance would you guys know the bolt size for the stop adjust? I'm going to need to go to a local hardware store to get a couple to have my adjusted so I can actually feel a short throw shift hahaha. Cause right now like above said I am going into the stock stops.
