Shift Kit/Enhancer Installed

[psychotic]

you have a 96 xlt 4 door. mine is 4wd, alec has the same thing only 2wd. it worked on both our explorers.

 

[psychotic]

also, my shift kit said it was for an F-150...

 

[james t]

it will work with tranny code D, E, P, U, H, L, and V.

Lowdpipes- if your tranny is one of these codes, i wouldnt worry about it. it does say to-97, but im 99% sure someone has one on a 98-up on this board.

basically, if you have one of these tranny codes, it will work.

 

[LowdPypes]

awesome, thanks!

 

[GR899V8]

I have one on my '99 4R70W and it works fine.

 

[james t]

well lowdpipes, there you go. nothin' to worry about. thanx for the headsup there, GR899V8.

dam man i would rather have a mechanical shifter improver but 170 plus like another 100-200 for install! That's alot of money just for that... I think i'll go with the electronic shifter....What website is selling them?

 

[james t]

any performance part site will have them, or you could just get one at autozone.

INSTALLED SUCCESSFULLY 98+

Installed B&M 70381 on my 98XLT with no problems. So if you doubting that it will work on anything but 95-97 no fears. I would like to know why they only specify those model years, and hopefully this will not screw up my car in the long run ...but hey it works....

 

[jwrezz]

I looked at my door jam sticker. There's a "TR" w/ a T under it. Is this the Trans Code? What is trans code T? Can I use the B&M thing? From reading this thread, I think I'm the only one here w/ a "T". What gives? or am I looking in the wrong place? Thanx much,

 

[james t]

ok, i cant make it any simpler than this.... this is how it is on mine...

Mine's not like that. It is similar, but not the same.

Did you get the special 69 model?
sweet.

 

[gavin]

where did you guys run the wires? I looked everywhere in the firewall and couldn't find a rubber grommet to run it through, and would rather not drill any holes.
Also, any idea if this would invalidate a factory warantee?

 

[Alec]

There's a factory grommet above the brake pedal. It's easily seen from inside the truck.

 

[gavin]

is it white?
guess I'll just hafta go do some more lookin... swear I couldn't find any though. I did see a white one, that already had something going through it and couldn't for the life of me get the wires through. Guess I just may have to somehow open it up some more

 

[Alec]

mine is black and it already had a bunch of factory wires going through it. I opened up the side of it with a utility knife. Now I have about 30-40 more wires running through it!

 

[Haggard]

I get my shift kit tommorrow, I can't wait

 

[expo5.0]

are you getting a real shift kit or an electronic one?

 

[LowdPypes]

Yeah, on the 98, mine, the wires were all different. Basically, just look at the numbers on the sheet it comes with and match them to the number on the ECU. The wires were the right colors just not where their instructions said they were. Works great though!
