B&M Pro Gate shifters are externally gated race shifters. The compact and lightweight design features a 10-gauge black oxide-coated 304 stainless steel base with a heavy-duty 303 stainless steel shift pin for longevity and bullet-proof performance. This model features reverse lockout, a rear-exit cable, and is designed for GM three-speed automatic transmissions with forward-pattern valve bodies. The 1018 steel shift stick includes a black B&M pistol grip for shifting duties while the external gate plate is constructed from black oxide-coated 11-gauge 304 stainless steel for durability. The 3-speed gated forward shift pattern features a staggered shift pattern with positive stops between each gear for easy and precise shifts. Other features include thick injection-molded nylon side covers featuring a knurled texture with the B&M Pro Gate logo on both sides. The covers are removable for access to the virtually maintenance-free shifter sub-assembly and will not gum up with dirt affecting shift performance, which is ideal for Off-Road racing. Includes a black 5-ft Super Duty race shifter cable along with a cable bracket, shift lever, and all necessary hardware for a straightforward installation.

As performance enthusiasts today, most people are accustomed to having access to whatever performance parts they need for their vehicle readily available at their local dealer. It usually never crosses anyone's mind who invented these products? Who was the first to identify the need, then develop and manufacture that product? Since the very early 1950s, B&M has been at the vanguard of the growing automotive aftermarket. Racers themselves, B&M's founders identified the needs of local racers and street performance enthusiasts, and developed products to fill those needs. As the industry grew so did B&M. And as racers went faster, B&M developed products to help them break the records they just set. In the 50's it was B&M who came up with the idea of using a performance reinforced Hydramatic for racing. In the 60s it was B&M who developed shifters to go along with it, and later in the decade came race converters. In the 70's shift and transmission improving kits, and always the constant refinements and expansion of existing product lines. If you've ever raced a vehicle, or driven a hot rod with an automatic transmission, high stall torque converter, an aftermarket automatic shifter, or performance enhancing shifting kit, thank B&M. From Trick Shift performance ATF to reverse pattern valve bodies, 1.80 gearsets to cool canisters, the list of firsts goes on and on. It's this tradition that keeps moving B&M to identify and develop what the performance enthusiast needs. As racing and street performance has spread globally, B&M has taken it's extensive knowledge and experience and applied it to the needs of racers, everyday drivers and hobbyists around the world. Keep looking to B&M to continue to be amongst the very first to identify vehicle needs in the global automotive aftermarket, supplying enthusiasts and racers what they need, performance!
