I just installed my OBX shifter (same as the B&M). PM me if you need any help.
BTW, I got my OBX shifter from Ebay for $70.

When installing be careful removing the plastic clip that holds the centering spring rod. It breaks VERY easily. Other than that all you need is the Torx bolt and a flat blade screwdriver.

Also be careful not to move the trans cable too much. You want to move it as little as possible so as not to throw anything off.

Have fun and enjoy.

Yeah, that little clip was a giant PITA. I broke mine but it's rigged up and still works. Kinda ghetto, but it works and should continue to work. It took me a while to figure out that the clip is supposed to "snap" open just a little bit. BTW, mine broke cause it was super cold out. So, warmer working conditions is better.
Again, if anyone needs help, feel free to PM me.

Take your time, and remember how it all comes apart.

I didn't break anything but I had a heck of a time trying to figure out how it went back together. When I took it apart it I didn't really look that close.
Took a bit of time but it finally went back together.
Works great you'll love it!
