Im currently trying to setup a pro ratchet shifter in my vh wagon thats running a jatco box. Im using the keas shifter brackets but i just cant get the thing adjusted right so it clicks into gears well.Is there anyting im missing out? or is it just a case of mucking around with adjustments?

Have you got these instructions for it? I know with the Quicksilver you have to set it up from Park. You should then be able to click it through the gears and also be able to take the cable end off the braket on the gearbox at every gear change http://www.bmracing.com/bmracing/ins...ruction/20.pdf (http://www.bmracing.com/bmracing/installation_instruction/20.pdf)

Try setting it up from 1st gear instead of park. That sometimes works better. You should just be able to set it up perfectly for park or 1st and the rest should be spot on

Always start in Neutral. The most important selections are 1-2 and 2-3. The cable should have no tension on it after the shift. In some cases you may have to manually file the Neutral Stop (under the Cover) as this can stop you selecting 3rd Gear.

Im about to attempt to fit a pro ratchet to my car, can the selector cable run into standard location??? If you get what i mean, the shifter was given to me, in perfect condition.. Just need some tips, as above has helped alot, just query the cable connection.
