haha, a few times. Hell Abby did Russell's (The Yaris's) last oil change all by her lonesome. :)

no.. everything's on hold right now. i'm having some serious clutch issues (non paddleshift setup) so the trans will be coming down again as soon as i can afford an un-sprung disk. THIS TIME when it's out i'll get everything going. i'm really only short a few parts to complete but right now.. with the way money's been, i can't justify the cost

Jerkratt · 02-05-2009, 06:43 PM

well now that i read this im going to check this thread out and see updates...

Dont worry Im going to make this happen =)

Love the ingenuity, wish I had the electronics background to be able to do this sort of stuff.
How do you control the throw if the pistons so that you don't overshift the gears? Do you have physical stops on the gearbox casing for this?

Tamago · 06-25-2009, 04:03 PM

bumping this so people will yell at me to finish already lol. i still need a pressure switch and sort out my plumbing issues and i should be ready to get this thing done already :D

the air cylinders themselves actually are of perfect stroke length :) i got lucky!

Subscribed. I don't know how I didn't see this before.
Tamago, are you still planning a SMT setup with your shifter cage? Or what's the deal with that?

well i currently haven't come up with a plan for the actual paddles. for now i'm gonna use the stock shifter i have wired up. in the future though i'll def try to make some easy paddles :)

mrbond · 06-25-2009, 04:27 PM

For sure. Yeah, that's the one thing about the Fit I kinda like - the paddle shifting. But I don't like the idea that an automatic is required for that perk.

custom modify

win?

mrbond · 06-25-2009, 04:42 PM

naw. = fail x2. First, they're pretty unattractive. Second, they'd require so much modification to work with a real SMT setup that you're better off just machining really pretty pieces. The bracket miiiiiight be worth the cost...

Exactly what just popped into my head when I read the must recent posts. same item, lol. I personally have no idea how to do it, though.

i'd probably put microswitches in the joints where the ugly bolts hold the center to the paddles themselves..

hmm

tempted to buy :D

lol, I was thinking buy two of them (for 9.99 a piece with free shipping)
cut off the "paddles" that are on them, and space them by 1/8th inch so you have some room between to play with and still be able to bolt it on so your switches wont be exposed.

kngrsll · 06-25-2009, 05:23 PM

you guys are insane LOL.

my only shifting mod was an extension and knob so i could shift faster (bc my hand has to move less distance if you dont follow)

I think even if i get a Ferrari F430, id rather have a manual box. I drove an M5 with paddles and i didnt like it and thats a pretty good system.
