Default First Mods!!

First mod is B&M Ripper came in yesterday, ready for installation. Second, third, fourth mods are 3.91s, Harrop rear cover, Crossmember bushings with Amsoil differential fluid and ATF swaps (awaiting arrival from DiffTechnics in Austrailia). Can't wait to start heat cycles with the new gears . . .

Well after a day of driving with the new shifter, I figured I would post a quick review of it: The B&M shifter is much tighter, notchier and allows for great positive shifts. No side to side movement while in gear and takes hard shifting like a champ!! Would definitely recommend!

did you locktite all the bolts and RTV the shifter base to the apaptor plate, if not, make sure you do that ASAP!!!! and also too, dont over torque the bolts going into the tranny cause you can strip out the threads in the bolt holes.
