Quick Disc.& Extension K

The Quick Disc. & Extension K shifter cable quick disconnect and extension kit is purpose-built for custom automotive applications where manual transmission shifter setup demands precision and modularity. Designed by B and M Automotive, this component exists to solve a critical problem: enabling smooth, reliable shifter cable routing in vehicles with non-stock engine placement, custom floor pans, or tight engine bay configurations. Whether you're fabricating a street rod, resto-mod, or performance vehicle with an unconventional drivetrain layout, this quick disconnect system eliminates the need for a single rigid cable run, allowing installers to segment the cable pathway and adjust on the fly.

This kit features aluminum and steel construction with red anodized and zinc oxide finishes for corrosion resistance and durability in engine bay environments. The quick disconnect design uses a 10-32 thread interface paired with a 5/16-24 inch thread post, allowing seamless coupling and uncoupling of shifter cable segments without full drivetrain removal. The red anodized aluminum components resist oxidation and offer visual identification, while zinc-plated steel elements provide additional strength at load-bearing connection points. At just 0.21 lbs, the compact assembly (3.9 x 0.85 x 6.65 inches) fits neatly in confined spaces without adding unnecessary weight or bulk to your transmission tunnel routing.

Mechanics and fabricators installing Bandit Shifters or performing custom manual transmission conversions benefit most from this extension kit, particularly when working with non-stock chassis or engine swaps where factory cable geometry no longer applies. Installation is straightforward: thread the 5/16-24 post into your existing shifter cable or lever, then connect the quick disconnect end to your transmission-side cable segment. This modular approach allows test-fitting before final welding, simplifies future transmission work, and accommodates mid-build design changes without scrapping cable runs—a critical advantage in custom fabrication where every dollar counts.
