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.

Easier would be two solenoids and to program them to be at a certain coordinate with a certain number of shifter inputs. Easier in the long run with far less machining and expensive work.

How about one that moves the side shift console selector for and aft, and one that moves it up and down?

Then a shift lever with a rotating disk with electrical contacts to engage the correct solenoids at the correct time.

My idea used 4 solenoids.....yours is better I think. The shifter could have electric switches mounted at each position in the "H". So far as I know, solenoids only pull one direction; but maybe there are two way solenoid. If not, then each solenoid must have a spring to pull the shifter the other way....
