i'm jealous of their paddle controls :(

They do offer the paddle shifter sets by themselves on their store page. Including the wireless ones that you just strap to the steering wheel, though you do have to change the batteries in those periodically. I'd go for that approach myself, since I have a leather sewn-on steering wheel cover I can just re-sew over the binding straps to hide them on the wireless units.

If nothing else, if you could figure out how to be electrically compatable with their paddle-shifter sets it'd make it one less part to deal with being the only source of yourself if/when you sell these later.

if i read that right, the basic paddle setup is $70? that's my price range lol

called them... their website is shit.. that's $70 for a PADDLESHIFT UPGRADE.. sold separately they want $375.

stay tuned for something made by me for $70 lmfao

I'll probably get burned for saying this, but why the hell didn't you just buy a Fit?

where should i start....

and the paddle shifters in a fit are for the autoTRAGIC gearbox

in prep for the trans going back in today after work, i set up the air cylinders.. still have to make the connecting linkage between cyl rod and shift rod but i'm pretty sure it'll be cake

[mikenacarato]

you should try to fit the nst bushings in there :)

So the air cylinders have a more solid shift! They'll complain later that it feels mushy.

Just know that when you finish, you'll be required to make TONS of videos showing it off.

Also nice sig.

[Tamago]

[mikenacarato]

Looks good.

how easy would this be to install if the trans was already outside of the vehicle?

outside or inside?

i wouldn't risk having those lil cylinders bolted to the trans during the re-installation

[Russelt3hPirate]

good point, but I assume it'd be easier to setup outside the car, then bolt on the cylinders.

this is how it was done :D

cylinders are not in right now, figured i'd give the trans a few days of shakedown before going to the air setup. stay tuned
