2004-2006 Ram SRT-10 B&M shifter install by 94rt10ohio
2004/2005 Dodge Ram SRT-10 B&M shifter install
(Note, 2006 will be the same with the exception of removing the console)
Parts purchased
B&M short throw shifter, $220 shipped via EBay.
1. Unscrew the shifter **** and **** stop.
2. Using a 3/16" allen or 4MM allen socket remove the silver ring that holds the boot to the console, then remove the boot and boot cover that is over the shifter handle bolts.
3. Remove rubber pads on the cup holders. Under are three screws, using a 7MM socket remove the screws then remove the console. There will be a wire attached to the cigarette lighter, it will pull out of the console.
4. Using a 7MM socket remove the rubber boot.
5. Using a 7/32" allen or 8MM allen socket remove the 4 bolts holding the shifter on. Make sure the shifter is in N, then pull the shifter out. It will be stuck and will need some "persuasion".
6. Clean any sealant off the transmission where the shifter attaches to the tranny. I used a putty knife and rag.
7. Use the supplied gasket and bolts to attach the new shifter to the tranny. You will needa 7/32" allen or 8MM allen socket.
8. At this point you want to attach the shifter handle and make sure you can shift into all gears freely. Once you have tested this remove the shifter handle.
9. Using a 7MM socket reinstall the rubber boot to the floor of the truck that you removed in step 4.
10. At this point take the time to vacuum the carpet where the center console goes.
11. Re-install the center console removed in step 3 using a 7MM socket put the three screws back in. Do not forget to re-attach the wire to the cigarette lighter.
12. Install the shifter handle. It has multiple positions to adjust height. At the highest setting it will be 1/4" lower than stock and for every position down you go you will be an additional 3/4" lower. Use a 3/16" allen or 4MM allen socket to attach the handle. Then using a 13MM wrench or deep socket put the lock nuts on the bolts, this is to prevent the bolts from working loose, do not forget this!!
13. Re-install the boot that goes over the shifter handle bolts taken off in step 2.
14. Re-install the shifter boot, then re-install the silver ring, both removed in step 2. This will require a 3/16" allen or 4MM allen. Do not tighten these screws too much!
15. Re-install the **** and **** stop. You can use a 9/16" wrench to adjust the stop.
Clean up and you are done!!
This is an easy install, if you can handle a screwdriver you can do this install with ease.
