Hi
There are a number of ways of building a paddle shift system depending on your needs. Discounting the use of a mechanical system. You can simply wire
up some solenoids through relays to switches witch is easy and quick, or you can build a system that has a bit more intelligence.
I have built a couple of systems that use a PIC to control the shifting and timing coupled with a small LED display to indicate the gear you are in
using this method you get a number of bonuses it is very easy to incorporate an ignition inhibitor to allow full throttle clutches up shifts, you can
also as a rev counter and enable auto up shifting at optimal RMP
If any one is interested I am still building the systems I have sole two in this sight to Jim and David crombi
If you are interesting in building your own that I can help alternately if you are interested in buying one then contact me through U2U or post hear
