B&M just in...

[dres240]

Yo, i just got my B&M in the mail for my 240sx.. and i opened the box and theres no instructions or nuthin, just the short shifter... is that how it's supposed to come?? I know theres online guides on how to install it, but why dont they give you any directions or suttin?? btw, i got the SS from PDM for 220 shipped..and i have three bottles of MT-90 too!!! haheheheheh cant wait!

Haha installing a ss is pretty self explanatory, but yes as you stated there are online guides

As long as it came with all the parts in the box, you should have no problem sliding the old one out and sliding the new one in.

Suggestion though: invest in snap ring pliers.

The b&m doesnt even need it. You just unbolt the entire shift plate and put the new one on... there ya go.. my online guide

*****in yaooo!!

whats the easiest way to go about changing that transmission oil also??? through the shifter plate up top n drain out the bottom?

[dres240]

n wut redline gear oil should i buy in a bit? non vlsd at the moment, but i dunno when the last owner changed that **** last so i think its time

Well manual transmission fluid is transmission fluid. 75w90 i guess. Thinner the better if your car isnt too old and your not leaking. Um to change it... pop the plug out of the bottom... let it totaly drain and plug it and fill it while you have the old shifter out. Your B&M has the full blue plate right? about the size of a graham cracker. LSD doesnt have anything to do with the transmission. But same fluid for the diff if its not LSD.

yea full blue plate, the bangin one lol.. but should i use the redline shockproof gear oil on myoilshop.com or the synthetic gear oil?? 75w90

Whatever they recommend, im not sure what they offer but lighter makes the components have less resistance. I hear redline is good stuff and will help you out. Less drivetrain power loss.

I recommend redline. But penzoil synchromesh (GN synchromesh) will work just fine.
