is it hard to change shifter cable on this?

Not at all. You just have move the shifter to the lowest position, retire the cover of the shifter by unscrewing the three philips screws , pull out the damaged/used cable and insert a new one.

I used these to replace the shifters and cables on my Trek 4300 mountain bike. I completely removed the old cables from the bike along with the old shifters. These new shifters come with the shift cables attached. I reused the cable casing that was on my bike, applying lube to the inside of the casing before threading the new cables through. The installation of the cables was easy. The adjustment to the derailleur after the cables are installed is a bit tricky. The best I can offer on that process is to either research online, find YouTube videos, or take the bike to your local bike shop and pay them to make the adjustments.

No - I am not a bike mechanic, but I grew up around bikes and feel that I am ok - it took me less than 1/2 an hour to change both sides.. It is a fairly straight forward procedure....

I don't know. What you can do is take off the shifter knob and check if the button is straight up. If it is then it will work. Usually they customize the inside of the knob so you can push in the button on the side or front.

Your order will come with both right and left shifters and their associated cables

Yes. Ensure you follow the directions verbatim, with emphasis on step 10. The metal face plate does fit slightly loose out of the box, however bending the metal tabs slightly inward will result in a firm, rattle-free, attachment. Once installed, the shifter should operate smooth as the OEM part it replaced.

I Haven't installed it yet. I got my other shifter working that was seized up. It came with shifter and four cables and housings. I'm going to use front brake cable and save rear and shifter till my shifter acts up again. Hopes this helps.

Most likely not a bad shifter. I would guess you need to just take up the slack at the derraillure. Search for a you tube video on it. It may help.

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond. Yes, the shifter came with pre-installed cables.Bob J.

should with modifications, shifter bracket needs to be made, not in kit for AOD

This comes with 2 two sided threaded adapters that allow threading to 4 different sizes that will allow you to attach it to most threaded shifters. If you can take the old knob off your shifter and it has a threaded end it should work. If not you and you have a standard metal post you should be able to thread the end if you want to invest that amount of work

My kit does not include shifter and shifter cable. I purchased those two items separately.

The cable cannot be shortened to my knowlege. I haven't finished installing my shifter yet. B&H; does have different lengths of cables. Here is their website: http://www.bmracing.com/ There is contact information for Customer Service.

it works OK. in my situation, I'm probably better off getting the twist style shifter. I have a Specialized HR.

It will work if your shifter is NOT a trigger Style... It only works on shifters with a push DOWN Release button. Cuz the trigger on this shifter is not Functional. To shift you press down the entire unit to unlock shifter Lever

Kareem, Your question is a bit confusing to me. The best I can say is the shifter is molded into the wheel, meaning it must remain on the right hand side. I have never seen one with the shifter on the left.Richard

That depends upon where you located the drive train. The shifter bolts on top of the floorboards with only 1 hole, about 5/8 inch wide, required to feed the shift cable through from the back side of the shifter. You may need a longer cable or the stock cable may fit. Keep the cable away from the drive shaft and any exhaust pipes, and do not make any sharp bends or the cable will bind up . The unit comes with a lot of brackets that you will not need but I am certain all the mounting brackets you WILL need are in the box including the transmission shifter arm. The cable mounts on the transmission pan bolts and spacers are provided, have a pair of 1 1/2 inch long pan bolts handy for mounting. If you decide on an overdrive trans later on, install the proper trans bracket and shifter arm, remove the Allen bolt lockout from the shifter and change the selector indicator over to the OD indicator which is supplied. Parts supplied for mounting to Ford AOD, GM 350/400/200R4/700R4 so you should be good to go.

Hi, Looking at a picture of your current shifter I would say you will have no problem switching the EF51. I switched from the OEM shifter on a Trek 990 last Fall and am very happy with the conversion. The EF51 comes with new cable sets that are much longer than you need for your bike. You may be able to reuse your cable sheaths and just use the new inner cable (if diameters are compatible). If you need to use the new cable and cut it to size you will need a "cable cutter" or do what I did and use a sharp side cutter and then remove the burr at the end of the sheath with a grinding wheel. I didn't get a lot of riding in this Fall before winter set in but once I got everything dialed in the new sets were smooth and precise. Jim

As everyone else said, it'll fit fine. To remove, put the shifter in 2nd, and (with your face out of the way) give it a good pull. After that, just pop the new one on. The shift knobs are keyed, so don't worry too much about the position.
