B&m mega shifter full auto adjust pin

[Newguy83c10SB350]

I bought an 83 c10 with 3 speed b&m t handle mega shifter. The guy said he had put a pin in the shifter that blocks out 1 and 2 to drive and i need to figure out how to chabge it back to ratchet style. Need help as soon as possible. Thank you

Have you tried using the shifter in both straight gate mode and ratchet shift mode? Are you restricted to only Drive in both modes?

Maybe I'm not understanding you, but I would look for any sort of pin/bolt/etc that does not look factory, and is placed so that it restricts the movement of the shifter mechanism, and then remove it.

Here's an image I found of a stock Megashifter:



You can see what the factory metal and fasteners look like.

You may also want to familiarize yourself with the instructions if this is your first experience with a dual-mode type shifter:

The instructions only make reference to a blocker pin and how it affects whether the shifter is used for a 3-speed or 4-speed transmission; nothing to do with blocking access to First and Second gear.

Sorry, that's all the help I can give at this time without seeing pictures of your shifter mechanism.
