entirely possible. this unit will most likely have a throttle blip on downshifts.. to do clutch you integrate a large number of things and will require a plc that costs about triple of the little Siemens unit i'm using (6 inputs, 4 outputs)

all right, gotcha

it'll still be pretty awesome as you are planning it!

Tamago · 11-18-2008, 04:50 PM

well, i just finished the PLC program.. i know a screenshot is pretty useless, but this is what 7 positions look like (1-5 + N + R) and what it takes to cycle through all of them.

i'm not gonna mess with the program anymore until i get all the components here.. checking the interlocks without physical movement is making me go cross-eyed

i modified a stock shift cage to only go forward and backwards.. will mount this guide plate in place with a spring load to keep it centered, then limit switches will be mounted on the other side of the plate

Tamago · 11-20-2008, 12:06 PM

btw i'll be doing paddle shifts on the steering wheel as well.. i want to put some serious thought into the design (thinking something like the IS-F) and this stock shifter will get me going in the right direction

yup, i want the paddle shifter setup to be perfect.. still planning the billet piece that'll have to be made to make it work.. when it's over you'll have both options

id3379 · 11-20-2008, 04:48 PM

woot, good progress so far, keep it up

whooppee777 · 11-20-2008, 04:50 PM

this is so awesome and confusing all at once. I LOVE IT!

Tamago · 11-20-2008, 07:21 PM

here's the work i've done to my old stock shift cage to turn it from H pattern to fore/aft only..

Tamago · 11-24-2008, 03:44 PM

here's the shifter with the limit switches installed.. due to UPS taking their sweet ass time this project will not be done till after thanksgiving :(

very impresive,keep up the good work.

If you can master this setup than work on an auto setup, i'd be down with that. Paddle shifting like the Fit Sport on the Yaris would be cool and the RS Yaris should have had it. I am patiently waiting for this

i'm just not sure why you'd want to shift an auto ?

nice work so far man. Coming along good.

Subscribed! This looks amazing! Are you going to add in some sort of gear display that shows what your current gear is?

i will have to get a bigger (more outputs) PLC to do that unfortunately.. that or a ton of relays.. i'm definitely trying to figure out how to do it inexpensively :D

picked up my enclosure from the wonderful folks at City Electric today..

here's the basic layout of the parts. i gotta pick up a piece of DIN rail, hope i can find a manifold for the valves, and will most likely mount the power supply (lower left, converts 12V into 24V) on a 90degree angle.. contemplating a cooling fan but not sure if i'll be generating that much heat
