Default B&M shifter install questions.....

Well, AWE is closed today and B&M themselves is of no help.

1997 A4 1.8TQ with the pushdown shifter. B&M provides 2 different reverse "hooks" for the A4 and S4/A6. Installed as per the directions there is nothing to hold the reverse catch to the shifter. I can see it falling out after a couple shifts, and I'll be without the revers stop. Anyone else install one of these on a pushdown car? Need advice ASAP!

TIA.....

Default I've installed one in my '98 pushdown.

If the reverse "hooks" you're referring to are Parts D [Front Reverse Pin] & E [Back Reverse Pin], then I suggest you take a look at Step 16. Does your shift pattern tell you to go to Step 22? If so, take a very careful look at Step 24. The diagram shows the orientation of the shift lever, the correct hole and the correct reverse pin [E] and pin alignment. If assembled correctly, you'll need to use a vise or hammer to drive the Back Reverse Pin into the correct hole. There is no way that pin will work itself loose and fall out under normal conditions.
Email me if you continue to have difficulty/questions.
