cool thanks all for the info.

Pathfinder was developing a paddle shift kit for the Sierra which retained the Sierra stalks. We have the prototype fitted (although now somewhat modified). It's a shame it hasn't gone into production cos it's a nice piece of kit, works great and is one of the best mods we've made to the Indy.

Marc,

the linkage depends on whether you want cable or rods. We went for a cable operated shift but I'm sure a rod linked shift would work just as well. Best bet for pictures would be from Pathfinder. We took loads of them whilst we were fitting it and he should still have them.
