DIY quickshift?
Has anybody on here tried making their own quickshift?
As far as I can see the power to the coils is cut by a microswitch when it senses a movement in the gear lever/paddles, shouldn't be that hard
to make, surely?
If anyone has any thoughts on the matter I would be grateful to hear them.

They already exist for bikes. just copy the design.
If i had a BEC, id also have electronic paddle shift with it, using two solenoids connected to spherical bearings via adjustable rods.

elec shift
finding neutral is the problem using soleniods and switches, its a half step between 1st and 2nd gear?

I am not intending to use solenoids just yet, but I was wondering more about the switch/wiring used to kill power to the coils, and whether its
something one could do on a locost budget.

Yeah, I made my own, worked a treat - I used a PIC to fire a transistor to interupt coil power with an adjustable period
