Default Mean Lookin' Paddle Shifter for a Fiero

I built this custom paddle shifter for a Pro-Touring Fiero application.

http://www.westcoastfiero.com/proje...car/engtop1.jpg

Uses a very small very flat 12.2" steering wheel to facilitate driver comfort. We used this opportunity to design a new paddle shape called "Stealth". The paddles are almost entirely hidden from view by the steering wheel rim when viewed head-on (in the driver's position). So we now offer a choice of paddle designs: Shark and Stealth (shown). Aside from the shape, we had to make custom "narrow" paddles to accomodate the small steering wheel.

Jim, I think that it wold be technically possible to use this for a T56. It will require some electric actuators that should do the shifting and some electronics to control it. If I only had more time...

Jan and Steve

I would run the paddle set up in a heart beat if it could be configured for a 6 speed. That would be Killer.
