B&M Automatic Transmission Shift Lever Kit

B&M Automatic Transmission Shift Lever Kits: Race-Bred Precision for the Street and Strip

When it comes to connecting an aftermarket automatic shifter to the transmission beneath your muscle car, hot rod, or truck, the shift lever and bracket kit is the critical link in the chain. B&M Racing & Performance has been engineering these components since the 1960s, when the brand first developed shifter hardware to accompany its pioneering work on performance automatic transmissions. That heritage means every B&M automatic transmission shift lever kit is designed with the demands of real racers and performance street drivers in mind — not as an afterthought, but as a core part of the shifter system.

What a B&M Shift Lever Kit Does

A shift lever kit provides the mechanical interface between your cable-actuated shifter and the transmission's manual valve body selector. Getting this geometry correct is essential for crisp, positive gear engagement and accurate gear position indication. B&M's kits are engineered to work seamlessly with the brand's own shifter lineup — including the iconic MegaShifter, Pro Bandit, and Pro Gate models — ensuring proper cable pull ratios and detent alignment right out of the box.

Broad Transmission Coverage

One of B&M's key strengths in this category is the breadth of transmission fitment. Their cable bracket and shift lever kits cover an exceptionally wide range of popular automatics across all three major domestic manufacturers:

• GM: TH400, TH350, TH250, 200-4R, 700R4, 4L60E, 4L80E, and 4L85E automatic transmissions
• Ford: AOD, 4R70W, and Ford C4 automatic transmissions , with additional kits for the C6
• Mopar: 1966 and later Chrysler Torqueflite A727, A904, A500, and A518 transmissions

Dedicated kits exist for each transmission family, ensuring the correct lever geometry and mounting configuration rather than a one-size-fits-all compromise.

Built to Racing Standards

B&M doesn't cut corners on materials. The compact and lightweight design features a 10-gauge black oxide-coated 304 stainless steel base with a heavy-duty 303 stainless steel shift pin for longevity and bullet-proof performance. The shift stick itself is constructed from 1018 steel and includes a black B&M logo shift knob, while the external gate plate is constructed from black oxide-coated 11-gauge 304 stainless steel for durability.

For Pro Gate shifter applications, the covers are removable for access to the virtually maintenance-free shifter sub-assembly and will not gum up with dirt affecting shift performance — ideal for off-road racing. The rear-exit cable design includes a black 5-ft Super Duty race shifter cable along with a cable bracket, shift lever, and all necessary hardware for a straightforward installation.

Safety and Compliance Built In

B&M's lever kits are engineered to work with shifters that feature a reverse lockout that meets NHRA and IHRA safety regulations , and many configurations include a neutral safety switch to prevent accidental starts in gear — a must for both track day compliance and everyday street safety.

Complete Kits, Ready to Install

The console shifter kit includes a 5-foot long performance shift cable, cable brackets, trans-shift levers, and all required hardware along with detailed installation instructions for an easy step-by-step install. B&M backs its shifter hardware with a limited lifetime warranty covering all automatic and manual shifters (except cables) , reflecting the brand's confidence in the durability of its components.

Whether you're building a bracket racer, a weekend warrior, or a restored classic, B&M's shift lever kits are the proven choice for dialing in your automatic transmission shifter installation with factory-engineered precision and race-validated durability.
