Go here {DESCRIPTION} and scroll down until you see the link for the instructions. Good luck making it work on a BTR, I think you might come unstuck connecting the cable to the shift linkage. Good luck. 8-)

I doubt you'll get anything from them to fit straight onto the BTR. Try ringing a few transmission shops and ask them how they fit them, there will be a way to do it, it may mean a modified trans linkage to accept the cable, but anything is possible.
Good luck. 8-)
