I built something for my Turbo Buick, and he's right. I used a ratchet style shifter and a small air cylinder to actuate it forward and back. The valves rest open, so you can manually shift too. Of course there's the other hardware that goes along with it ( compressor, air tank, etc....), but I've got a paddle shifted 200/4r. I built the paddles myself and modified a MOMO hub for mounts and triggers. Then I had an electrical engineer friend of mine build a translator box that allows me to put 3 different resistance values to the horn wire at the wheel and get upshift, downshift and horn and the bottom of the column. It wasn't easy, but like my dad always told me "nothin' easy is cool, and nothin' cool is easy"
