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.

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.

Hi again a weekly update. Got a quote from a local machine shop and ill have to add up the prices and math it out over 10-20 units. Also will be finishing up the drawing this weekend, had a lot of drawings todo. Plus im going to try and work on drawings for the other 2nd project too
Im getting excited about getting them made as i want one in my car too.
I been driving my car with my old style proto-type in manual mode alot. Just love it, LOVE it.

Man, hurry up, James! I've got a track event next month with the Porsche Club of America and I want to show off the paddle shifters to these Porsche owners. I want them to know our Zs are cool!
