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.

IMHO, a sequential mechanical shifter would be a nice change for all around use, but paddle is not worth it. More of a novelty.
Some day when I get time I will develop a sequential setup.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |

Why does it have to be IN the 901. All you need is a mechanism to put the shift shaft in the right place. No need for internal nothing. |

Guys, Your comment about putting the shift shaft in the right place is exactly how the Master Shift (or is it Shift Master) system works. As I understand their system, it uses an externally mounted mechanism to move the shift shaft. The mechanism uses electric motors. The system has a computer that takes a signal from the paddle that in turn transmits the gear selection to the mechanism. It seems to me that using solenoids would be better than motors.....but with all that said, $2900 seems like a lot of $$ for such a setup. |
