B&M Racing Performance 80843 Automatic Pro Ratchet Shifter

 

B&M introduced their shift and transmission improvement kits to the market back in the 1970’s. The Pro Ratchet kits are B&M’s most popular and allow customers to improve shift firmness and transmission durability in their driveways using basic hand tools. B&M Performance specializes in performance automatic transmissions, torque converters, SFI approved flexplates, legendary automatic shifters, and precision manual shifters.

The B&M Pro Ratchet shifters come pre-assembled and are one of the most popular and easiest to operate race shifters on the market. Why is it so popular? Because it is designed, developed and refined by the company that invented race shifters. This shifter is the leading choice for 3 & 4-speed transmissions as well as Powerglides!

Why use a performance shifter? To stop the chance of making errors in gear selection, preventing damage to your engine or driveline!

The B&M Pro Ratchet Shifter has a positive ratchet design that self-centers after each shift giving you maximum clearance behind the shifter, and won’t let you miss a shift or over shift a gear. The one handed reverse lockout feature will also make sure that you can’t accidently shift past neutral into reverse or park.

The included high quality hydro-dipped aluminum carbon fiber look cover, and white B&M shift knob will look great in your cars interior on the street or at the strip. As with any great B&M performance parts, detailed installation instructions are also included as part of the kit for easy at-home installation.
