B&M Automatic Shifters :: Superior Performance, Exceptional Engineering, and Uncompromising Quality

B&M invented the racing automatic shifter and still leads the way today. We offer the widest range of applications, functions and styling in the world. B&M Automatic shifters are easy to install and come with detailed instructions.

Majority of B&M shifters are NHRA approved and include safety reverse lock-out. These shifters with reverse lock-out eliminate the need for a reverse valve-body.

For ease of installation, and for best fit and feel, all shifters (except Street Rod Shifter) utilize a heavy duty cable. All shifters also include a reverse or neutral safety switch.

Some things you should know when considering B&M automatic shifters:

TRANSMISSION CONTROL
The installation of a B&M shifter improves the driving experience. By being able to drive the vehicle by shifting quickly up and down through the gears the driver can maximize the engines torque curve. A B&M automatic shifter creates driver control that is similar to that of a manual transmission shifter if desired. The driver also has the choice to leave the shifter in “drive” and allow the vehicle to shift normally.

TRANSMISSION PROTECTION FUNCTION
Most B&M automatic shifters prevent the transmission from being accidentally shifted into reverse while driving. This function is required by most race sanctioning bodies and critical in street performance applications as well.

AESTHETICS
B&M delivers the control & function with the good looks you desire for the interior of your vehicle. When selecting a shifter, how the unit looks is very important. Whatever you drive, B&M has a look that works.

SELECTING YOUR SHIFTER
You should first determine how the shifter is going to be used and which features are needed to suit that application. Detailed mechanical design differences are described below. Most B&M shifters include a neutral safety switch and backup light switch as well as a reverse lock out to prevent accidental engagement of reverse even in hard shifting conditions. Most are operated by a cable from the shifter to the transmission. This allows for quick and easy installation and virtually unlimited shifter mounting positions in the vehicle. B&M offers two types of shifter installations –console and universal.

CONSOLE APPLICATIONS
A console installation replaces the factory console shifter with a B&M unit that fits within the confines of the vehicle’s stock shifter enclosure or console.

UNIVERSAL APPLICATIONS
These shifters are used when the vehicle does not have a factory provided console or perhaps the vehicle originally came with a steering column mounted shifter.

COMPETITION AUTOMATIC SHIFTERS
In racing there is no room for error. Races are won and lost in hundredths of a second. B&M has been in the racing arena and delivering sophisticated transmission controls longer than anyone. B&M shifter equipped cars have placed their drivers in the winner’s circle for over 50 years. It is no wonder that every B&M race shifter begins with the word ‘Pro’!

SHIFTING MECHANISMS
There are three types of shifter actions or internal mechanism designs. The Ratchet and Gate designs are found in the B&M top of the line shifters. The Detent design is a less expensive mechanism designed for economical positive shifts. Both Ratchet and Gate mechanisms are ideally suited for racing and street/strip applications.
