Has anyone installed a paddleshift system on the 901 transmission? I would be interested to hear about the experience....i.e. installation difficulties, cost, vendor, etc.

Could you imagine the work involved for the mechanism for that? Too much for too little return IMO. The "paddleshifters" for most production cars these days operate an automatic or CVT transmission except in the supercar applications. I was driving next to a 458 Italia the other day in traffic and his trans was sounding clunky and the car was lurching back and forth as the trans selector system was contending with the stop and go, cornering and general traffic conditions. No thanks... great on the track or probably highway conditions, but around town maybe not the best. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
