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 actually thought about this some more and came up with this:
Take a tail cone similar to a tail shift. Install a cam through it horizontal & perpendicular to the shift rods. Each shift rod has one rockerarm/follower and one camlobe on the camshaft. Each camlobe has three heights: In, Middle (neutral) and Out. The cam would have 6 positions each one 60 degrees from the last. (neutral is 1/2 way between rev & 1st) If you turn the cam from the first position: rev -> lobe1 = Out, lobe2 = Mid, lobe3 = mid neut -> lobe1 = Mid, lobe2= mid, lobe3= mid 1st -> lobe1 = In, lobe2 = Mid, lobe3 = mid 2nd -> lobe1 = Mid, lobe2 = Out, lobe3 = mid etc etc. Then your shifter is just a cog turning mechanism that can bump the cam one up or one down (CW or CCW) |
