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.

I don't think a paddle shift will work on a fully mechanical transmission, but I could be wrong.

The Cap'n There's an outfit called Master Shift that sells aftermarket paddle shifter kits for a variety of manual transmissions. They tell me that their product will work on a 901 side shifter.....but it is godawful expensive....$2900 minimum. So I was wondering whether anybody else had been looking into something similar. |

A full stock rebuild done with dealer sourced parts could easily reach that figure, done in a retail setting. Would you want a $6K/7K tranny (with installation labor) in your $4K/5K daily driver?
