Now yer talkin!! I see Tex Racing in NC is a dealer. And, ironically, Tex Powell himself has purchased one of my paddle shifters for "some street rod project he's working on". I cautioned that our shifter is not designed to work with manual (or any non-electronic) transmissions. He said don't worry about it, but would not elaborate further. I guess I now know the deal:

-Tex Transmission (plenty strong with with a wide choice of gear ratios)
-Renagate shifter conversion
-Bi-directional linear actuator motor
-Shrifter

But paddle shifter or not, the Renagate deal should cut down shift times and reduce driver error. The big questions are 1) clutch apply (should be standard) 2) if it can work on a 4 speed, can a 5 spd or 6 spd model be far behind?
Very cool. Get on that.
