Finally, the adapter and shifter base are set atop the transmission and the 6 bolts inserted and tightened. Use a bead of RTV to seal the shifter base to the adapter. The stock gasket seals the adapter to the transmission. Reinstall the boots and happy shifting. Ther B&M shifter is adjustable, allowing 30 degrees right or left angle (or straight back). I set mine to the 30-left position to make it easier to reach. I retained the stock shift knob, but the supplied billet aluminum one is ver nice as well. This shift kit combination would cost approx. $60-90 for the custom shifter spacer plate plus the cost of the B&M (currently available from LC Engineering) short shift kit, which typically costs about $200.   (5/8)
