Notes

Good "rule of thumb" calculation is to mutiply .12 by your tire diameter. (.12 X 38" = 4.56)
(see more formulas at bottom of page)

The below table can be used to get a rough idea on gear ratios. The colors represent ideal RPM's at highway speeds (65). For highway cruising and best fuel economy stay towards the yellow (2600 rpm), around town daily driving is color coded green (2800 rpm), and for better towing power or just more 4-low power use the ratios near the red (3100 rpm). These calculations are assuming a manual transmission with a 1:1 ratio. If you drive an automatic your RPMs will be slightly higher, and the opposite is true if you have overdrive (your RPMs will be slightly lower).

ProBillet T-shifter Installation Instructions

There are 3 pieces in the ProBillet T-Shifter kit

The ProBillet T-Shifter handle, the ProBillet T-Shifter collar, and a piece of heater hose.

The heater hose is not just for protection in shipping, it is actually used to tighten the collar up against the under side of the handle.

First, after removing the old shift knob, the collar is screwed down on the shifter shaft. You will note that the collar is threaded on the inside of the collar but only on one end.

Slip the collar over the exposed shifter shaft with the unthread portion of the collar down first. Screw the collar all the way down until it cannot be screwed down any farther. Do not tight down. All you want to do is screw it down until it stops

Next carefully place the ProBillet T-Shifter on the shifter shaft and turn the shifter down until it stops. Again do not tighten down. All you want to do is screw it down until it stops. It probably will not line up where you will want to hold the ProBillet T-Shifter handle. Even if it does you will then turn the shifter handle back a little to give you the ability to tight the ProBillet T-Shifter handle against the collar.

After you turn the ProBillet T-Shifter handle back a little, then screw the collar up against the ProBillet T-Shifter handle snugly. With the protective water heater hose around the collar, carefully grip the collar, making certain the vice grips or pliers are actually touching only the hose and not the finished aluminum collar. Please note that the rubber hose grips. So excessive pressure with pliers or vice grips should not be applied to the rubber hose and is not required.

Then, .turn the ProBillet T-Shifter handle down against the collar tightly. You may have to try this several times to coordinate the tightening of the handle with the collar to get the desire position of the ProBillet T-Shifter.

Voila! All done...
...and no set screws or unsightly bolts to disturb the beauty of your custom ProBillet T-Shifter

Enjoy and appreciate why those who buy

know it's the last stop for a shift knob
