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.

Ah Yes
An idea a long time coming.Sorta like the SportoMatic only with the 45 years of technology to help.Sensors to determine fork positions,clutch engagement,engine revs, roadspeed,braking parameters,the possibility of double clutching selectively,and on and on.The engineering talent and money that went into today's masterpieces is staggering on the F1 scale.Linear actuators may be the answer in there,sorta like a hydraulic cylinder with fine resolution control of rates.This could be fun,hard work. Stick?Nah,a 1969 looking version of the latest gizmo,turn signal stalks repurposed. I had a look at the vid of the cable shift and I am impressed with the results.A melding of the available actuators and electric over hydraulic/linear may produce a mechanism to circumvent the agricultural trellis-work that is there now.I am in wonder that very same device actually won it's class at LeMan. |
