Yes Please.

Okay, Here we go again!! World's first paddle shifted ZR1. Actually, this is probably the world's first manumatic vette--period. Yup, this guy converted his ZR1 to an automatic and installed a paddle shifter with his own paddle design. Sorry if I'm boring you with all of these Shrifter pix--but pretty much every sale is a "first-ever" experience at this point.

But only Jody Bernard will be able to claim that he has the very first Shrifter. Here's the ZR1 pix.

Steve Chryssos 04-26-2005 07:30 AM

It is a 1990 ZR1.

Steve,


Do you plan to make any 6 speed ratchet shifter's too? Thats the only thing thats stopping me from doing an automatic. I dont like having to hit a buttom to go into another gear on those b&m shifters with a 6 speed trans.

Steve Chryssos 04-27-2005 04:02 PM

Dave,
Please elaborate. By button, I think you are referring to an NHRA mandated reverse lockout on a mechanical floor shifter. We don't have any immediate plans for building floor shifters.

The beauty of the manumatic paddle shifter is that there is absolutely no chance (Zero!) of shifting into neutral, reverse, or park during performance driving. It only controls the forward gears. So there's no more need for annoying ratchet action or reverse lockout. Yahoo!!

Steve,

You pretty much answered my question. My friend had an over drive transmission in his cougar and I hated shifting in manual mode with a ratchet shifter. I was just wondering if you had plans for a floor shifter.


thanks for answering my question :thumbsup:

Good stuff
 
Looks like some really nice goods you're producing there Steevo ! :yes:

Steve Chryssos 05-02-2005 06:18 PM

Thanks Paul. We're working on a new and improved website with updated product pix and numerous cars in the gallery.

And don't forget folks: In a couple of weeks, you can read the ins and outs of manumatic shifting for hot rods (with an install) in the July issue of Popular Hot Rodding.
