Flatshifter and cable paddles
SJL - 12/4/10 at 01:14 PM

Has anyone got any pictures of a Flatshifter fitted with a cable linkage.

I went down the cabled route for my paddles as it is supposedly kinder on the box but obviuosly I have no way of adding the sensor into the system at the moment.

Graham advised that people add a bracket to the cable to allow it to work some inspiration would be nice.

Thanks for the video.

I have not got the room to fit the sensor in between the cable and the gear lever.
Thats why I need to mount it along side it apparently.

I have a cable shift and a flatshifter but have not fitted mine yet. With cable shift the sensor has to be fitted at the gearbox end so the likely setup would be lever, rose joint, sensor, cable, with the cable held in a bracket above the gearbox lever.

In my case, with the gearbox lever close to the bulkhead I was planning to fit an L shaped bracket to the bulkhead with a hole for the cable end to pass through held each side of the bracket by nuts and washers.

Hi, I have fitted a flatshifter with a cable system and had to modify the existing setup slightly, so opted for a pivot point in the system to be able to fit the cable at 90 degrees to the Flatshifter sensor...
Hard to explain, so see our blog for details... sorry, in Hungarian... but you get it from the pics...

Or click on my signature pics folder...

if you have questions, let me know!

Thanks guys,having looked at the car now I am going to refabricate the bracket in the engine bay so I can fit the strain gauge/sensor onto the end of the cable.

It seems pointless trying to reinvent the wheel

Hi Graham,

I will send you some when I have finished putting it all together.

Work has been manic again so not had a chance to finish installing it yet or even drive the car
