B&M Hammer Demonstration

This video shows how the B&M Hammer Shifter works in a Ford Mustang. The Shifter works with the 4r70w, as well as the AODE transmission, found in 94-04 automatic mustangs. The knob on top is not the "Hammer Head" knob that comes with the shifter, it's a knob I bought at Autozone. The red button on the side is the Overdrive cancel button,(the grey button on the side of the stock shifter). For everyone saying your trying to immitate a manual, THIS IS NOT AN IMMITATION OF A MANUAL TRANSMISSION ITS AN AUTOMATIC SHIFTER, THIS WILL NOT MAKE YOUR CAR A MANUAL. If you leave it in D then it will shift just like the stock shifter.

Looks like a complete pain in the ass to me... Honestly, what in the hell would be the upside to this circus gimmick. The shit people will buy these days.

a properly built transmission with a manual valve body, and this ratchet shifter will kick the fuck out of a standard in a race. assuming that the two cars are equal in power. Keep you foot to the floor, and just bump to the next gear. no need to let off to shift.

What's the purpose of canceling/turning off over-drive?

[slidinstang]

all turning off over-drive does is stops the car from going into 4th gear, which means youll be turning higher RPM's at highway speeds, therefore bringig down your MPG.

well its really for people who drag race or have cars with alot of power so you dont have to worry about pushing in the clutch, automatics shift faster than any human and will give you a better 1/4 mile and all a ratchet type shifter will allow you to do is control when it shifts pretty much

@baconsoap78 Most cars trap (cross the 1/4 mark) at the top of their 3rd gear in an automatic. If your car somehow shifted into 4th, you could actually slow down at the 1/4 mark and have a slower ET and trap speed.

Thanks for the video.... I am going to be doing this in a few weeks and it cleared up whether or not it would work with a 4r70w

can you show a vid on how you put the c4 connectionon it i have a mach 1 and i have no idea on how to put it can you pleas reply?

[justthebassplayer]

@slidinstang Also keeps the car out of the top gear for drag racing. Prob never go into 4th on the strip

[hellobitch1000]

i have a 01 monte ss. can it owrk on that?? please answer

[Jordanjschaecher]

the nice thing about ratchet shifters is if you're just cruisin around and you dont want to shift, you dont have to. and if you're racin, you can

[Jordanjschaecher]

@willpw314 hahahahaha.....yes

[willpw314]

so if overdrive is on and you shift into drive from 2nd it will shift into either 3rd or 4th depending on if you give it gas or not?

hey thanks for posthing this video i had no idea how to work the shifter i always wanted one but i bought a used one and i thought it was broken then i found out how to use it when i saw your video so thanks alot shifter works bad ass big difference, hey quick question dont know to much about transmision but how do know if you got a manual valve body is that something u install urself or a transmision option

[MrRobGT]

The ratchet shifters are a pain for a daily driver. They certainly look better tho. I am getting one because the stock shifter looks like a dildo with elephantitus. They also keep you from accidentally shifting into an unwanted gear... which shit happens so...
