B&M Shifter Question - Lift up reverse cable?

[JamesT87]

Good Morning,

I have recently acquired a B&M shifter and quickly nipped over to Riley's house to have a look at him spare housing he had.

I noticed that his standard shift lever has a cable attached to the 'lift up reverse' part. The gear lever I have doesnt have a hook as present on the one he showed me.

Does this cable need to be attached in order for the lift up reverse selection to work? Is my housing different to the 172 cup, being a 182 trophy?

I have seen alot of guides and searched no end but I cannot find the solution to my questions.

Any help would be appreciated.

Yes you need the lift up mecahnism to engage reverse

There isn't a cable on the B&M - it's all different

I have my old shifter in the shed still in the housing and that has a cable on it - got the B&M fitted in the car in a spare housing and that doesn't have a cable

Fantastic so no cable at all then!

Ill give it a go!

The B&M should have a sliding sleeve under the knob - which held in with a pin. The sleeve then holds the gaitor in the correct position.
