its supposed to make shifts super quick. so, yes.

It probably makes the shifts faster in manual and auto, more agressive the higher up the revs are it sounds like. Or maybe it has to do with the throttle, if its 100% open it may shift a lot faster. It's probably something we should make a new thread on in the engine section.

Thats cool,
i agree we should have a new thread that talks about this, if theres not one already made.

I printed out some plans, and have a list of machine shops to check out tomorrow. The one part may need to use a 4 or 5 Axis milling machine.

Does anybody that have these know if the shifts are delayed like shown in that video im really curious.And is it true that these are faster than a 6mt.Thanks

from what i understand and that others have said that the bell have a delay in shifting. I dont own one but from the pictures i have seen is that there paddles have a single pole momentary switch that controls a module that inturns send a signal to the BCM for shifting, and thats were the small delay is at. Its like using one light switch to control another light switch to turn the light on.


Haha, thanks for the correction i was in a hurry to post the image up. After i send the plans in, ill post up more of what the paddles look like
I stopped by a machine shop today afterwork, they'll give me a quote on monday, but there is one part thats is going to need a 5-axis milling machine to make.
