I will be doing an install on the Paddle shifted TKO500/600 on our Camaro and let me tell you this thing is sick. I dont have all the specs on it yet but they have a model for Standard thats right for your 5sp or 6sp and Automatic. This is the coolest thing I have seen and they have been testing them on Trophy trucks for years now.

They are finally ready to go on the street and we will show you it here first. You can do all kinds of programming for different shifting patterns and it looks like a lot of fun. The best part you never have to take your hands of the wheel to shift.

updates on this comeing very soon and we are getting set up as dealers now if anyone is intersted in more information on these. I will post cost and other info very soon on them.

I thought you would like this Scott it is very cool

Would an application include the T56?

Looks like it is corded?...That might get irritating...I do like the gear display in the hub though...

Sorry for the stupid question, would the clutch pedal still need to be depressed and released while shifting?

Do you still need to depress the clutch?

I am getting all the info on the system now for what it will work with, You do still need to clutch the car it will not stop that but you remove the shifter from the car as it is replaced with the new unit. The cords can be as long or short as you want and they are not in the way when mounted.

do you have to clutch while shifting? would be nice if they would set it up to actuate the clutch while shifting like on the oem paddle shifters.

Cool - like the e-gear in the Lamborghini.... that one pushes the clutch for you, this one would have to be the same I'm sure
