Chad, everything is done by the paddles. It's called a master shift that is located in the trunk of the car That paddle tell the computer in the trunk to mechanicaly move a cable that is connected to the trans. It works well but I still need to dial it in. Going from R to D can be tricky and from 1 to 2. once I'm in second it works great. Will get it dialed in before spring.

Thanks Mark. Please update us when you get things dialed in. I'm very curious as to how this works. I like the look of your console with no shifter.

Last week I thought I'd try out my wifes new Camera. Wanted to get some good shots before the snow hits. Monday it goes to the dino for some tune work. Then will start perfecting some stuff over the winter months. Need to finish the engine compartment and a few other things.

I bet you can't wait to take it out and cruise in that beast.
