      Description

      Dual Mode Shifter. The B&M StarShifter Automatic Shifter is a versatile transmission shifter designed to provide both smooth detent shifting for everyday driving and precise ratchet mode for controlled, one-gear-at-a-time shifts at the drag strip. It improves shifting accuracy and driver control while maintaining classic muscle car styling, making it an essential upgrade for enthusiasts seeking performance and aesthetics.

      Construction and Appearance. Constructed from a durable combination of aluminum, steel, and plastic, the shifter features a polished aluminum handle combined with a black plastic base. Its build quality ensures long-lasting function under high-stress applications while the chrome top plate and accordion boot add to its classic race-inspired appearance.

      Installation. Installation requires trimming the console for a custom fit. Compatibility with various transmission models means some applications may require drilling or fabrication for correct installation. The package includes all necessary hardware, brackets, and switches to assist in installation.

      Warranty. This product comes with a lifetime limited warranty, underscoring its quality and durability.

      Application. Designed as a universal style automatic shifter compatible with GM 3-speed, Chrysler A727/A904/A518, Ford C4/C5/C6, and Ford AOD 4-speed transmissions (with AOD potentially requiring an additional adapter kit). It is suitable for a range of performance vehicles including 79-81 5.0L Mustang applications, providing an upgrade to factory automatic transmission shifter systems.
