Guys the new Gm High Tech I seen today had a small write up on a New F1 Style Paddle shifting system that could be used on th350Trans, C4's 4L60E's, etc. http://news.hspn.com/articles/936/1/...tic/Page1.html What sucks is the damn thing is 1400 from them, may be cheaper a little through a Vendor??

I searched Jegs and I found this
http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...58050_-1_10517 After looking you have to have the t-Com software for the 4L60E or 4L80E at $700+ the good news is I already have one for my 4L80E conversion . However its still $550 just for the setup so thats around $1200 for this whole setup.
Both systems are Suppose to be very user friendly and send signals so you don't have to worry about wiring up anything. The version from Jegs plugs into the T-com software.

Anybody else have any thoughts on this, thought it was really cool. Me and my brother were talking about a paddle shift conversion about a week ago too. He is picking up his LS3 08 today with 6-speed paddle shifting, so I get to try it out, lol.

 

Wasn't thinking, but I bet Fred moves this .

 

i dont think it would be feasible. nor do i think it would be useful. i mean...the new lancer has them and EVERYONE i know makes fun of the car because the paddle shift.

it would however be really cool to see on a f-body. i have a manual car now so it would be useless to me.

 

I think it would be cool, every car I have driven with a paddle shifter is fun, if I had the money I think I would buy it.

 

Paddle shifting has been around for awhile in the Exotics, the Vette has had it since 2006. I try it out in the Vette First and see how I like it.

 

Its possible and I've seen it done on both the 4l60e and 4l80e in a 4th gen camaro and tahoe.
The guy is using TCI's TCU (around $450 used) and has the shift points set at I think 7000 when it goes in drive. From there he wired in a dpdt switch that over rides the computer and tells it when to shift. I havent seen how he wired it but he said it was fairly easy. The cool thing is when in OD the transmission acts normal for street use.
