It would work... if you like pushing buttons all the time.

ya i dont like that at all but its the only thing i could find that was kinda cheap the other one i found was like $1400

it's like paddle shifters, but button shifters!

^^wow...................................stating the obvious..............fail

Would suck for daily driving, but I can't even see how this would be beneficial in any form of racing. You'd HAVE to take your eyes off the road to verify the right gear and if you do enough racing, you'd probably develop carpal tunnel. Well, that is if it's compounded with chronic masturbation while you're racing. Now if there was a way to mount two buttons on the steering wheel and wire them to the module to control up/downshifting, that'd be choice.

What's the alternative for 1400, Caboose? When I was looking a while back, only thing I saw was the TCI Stand-Alone / Paddle Shift system for the 3800 Grand Prix

This is what I think of for a stand alone transmission controller.

heineck · 06-12-2009, 04:24 PM

Redog · 06-12-2009, 04:29 PM

Yeah doesn't seem like a good purshace to me

i was going to but i cant find the shift linkage or the trim piece so it would be alittle bit easier just to run the stand alone and rebuild my auto
