NUETRAL SAFETY & REVERSE WIRE

[MYOBYDAVE]

JUST INSTALLED MY NEW B&M MEGA SHIFTER
AND I NEED TO HOOK UP THE NUETRAL SAFETY SWITCH AS WELL AS THE REVERSE LIGHTS
JUST WONDERING WHAT COLOR CODE AND WHERE IS THE HARNESS .
COULD POSSIBLY FIND IT BUT DONT WANT TO WASTE HALF A DAY LOOKING.
ANY HELP IS MUCH APRECIATED
THANKS DAVE

If you keep the rod from the gear selector to the column in place, you don't need to do any wiring at all.
BTW, g-bodies don't have a neutral safety switch.
That rod controls a mechanical interlock in the column.

you cant keep the bar in place
you need to use the b&m bracket which you cannot adapt the bar
thanks anyway

still looking for the wiring info

 

[Blake442]

That is not true.
I have a megashifter in my 442, and I had no trouble making it work correctly.
The instructions show you how to stack the b&m bracket with the stock bracket.
They recommend welding the two together, but I didn't even do that...

 

[MYOBYDAVE]

wouldnt that over work the b&m cable
have you replaced your cable since the install

 

[Blake442]

No, B&M tells you that it's ok to do.
I first installed the shifter in 2001, and have had ZERO problems.
If a stoned 17 year old with no experience can figure it out, I'm confident you can too...

I've tried telling people that for years but most people refuse to believe it!

I wonder if the Quicksiver shifter linkage/cable would hook up just like your Megashifter's? Do you have a pic of your Megashifter installed?

BTW, you may want to fix your transmission leak. :wink:

 

[Blake442]

Yeah, the transmission leaks when it sits... and it sits a lot... :lol:

Blake442 is absolutely correct. I was a little stumped at first, but I remembered reading on the forum that the neutral safety/reverse switch was in the column, so I just hooked up my Mega Shifter today with the same linkage configuration. It was not in the instructions that I got, but it just seemed like it would work, so I figured I'd give it a try.
