You just remove the top cover, mount the shifter as you normally would and put the console back over the top. Some careful measuring and fitting is required. Installing one of these shifter is a very fiddly and time consuming job! There was a tech article on it ages ago somewhere.

If you want to fit the B &M Quicksilver shifter with a Keas Jatco, before you get it built let them know and they will weld the bracke needed on for you. You then need to make a drop box for it so it does not sit too high. You will need to chop out some of the plastic of the console as well.

Can anyone tell me where I can get the cable adapter brackets that bolt onto the jatco transmission so I can use a B&M Pro Ratchet Shifter. Jacko

not quite you need to remove the stock plate that the stock shifter is on and fit one that sits lower in the trans tunnel then it will fit over top
