Wow. You guys have been busy.

I like the simplicity of the click things. It's an all in one solution, minus shift box. The only thing would be the programming which is totally out of my realm. I could fab the microswitch shifter in my sleep (would rather mod an existing stick) and wire the relays and resistors but the whole math/logic/progarmming is all Greek to me.

I will take a closer look to see if it's user friendly or not when I get some time.

I have to crawl under the egg to see about the neutral shift linkage. I remember seeing a lever and cogs when I was changing the ATF. I think neutral is mechanical. Not insurmountable but trickier.

I don't want the paddle shift or triptonic type because I need to be freer to jump between gears after EOC. Are we looking at a shifter on a shifter?

Then of course there's reverse.
