Ohhhh... I don't think I like the shift knob rotator motor throttle idea, unless it has a cutoff switch....Might need to find a way to do it so that you don't apply pressure to the throttle when you shift...

When I did the conversion of my Geo Metro to electric and had to jump through the legal hoops, I found out that ANY diesel conversion in my area is EXEMPT from smog testing. Also, vehicles older than 1996 (pre-OBDII) are exempt, and the project truck is a '95.
As for the throttle on the stick shift, it could also be a trigger, rather than rotary, or I could simply always apply a slight back-pressure whenever I shift. On my motorcycle, it has an electronic twist throttle, and it doesn't change by accident while steering the cycle. It only twists when I conciously accelerate.
