I remember a long time ago some guys made a custom shifter and it was like the inital D arcade games shifter(Only 2-3 shift directions, down to shift up, up to shift down, and left or right to shift into neutral). I tried to dig it up but had no luck in finding it. Anyone know what it was called?

thats a new one to me!

 

Bump, If anyone knows of any shifter that a ht member made that would help too=]

 

No clue here. Bosch sells Hall-effect sensors, which are used in shifters for sequential manual / semi-auto transmissions, but you'd have to either convert an existing auto trans to shift through the gears, or fit servos to a manual box and add code to the ECU to work the servos for the gears when they are told to. You could probably get a shifter designed to do all that mechanically and keep the foot pedal clutch, but I'd guess that something like that would take a lot of percision machine work, be a lot heavier than stock, and possibly be none too durable.

On the other hand, some newer European cars use a shifter like you described which might be usable as a retrofit, but really I don't know. Haven't been arould long enough to see anything like that, lol.

 

user "preludeZ" made a sequential shifter for the prelude.

 

Out of curiosity, was that for a manual or a auto?

 

a guy I know has made a sequental shifter for b series and he is getting patents right now...he is a trans guru and smart

 

Manual, Ill lookup preludez, thanks and thats what I think I was looking for, a sequential shifter.

@pythoner, if your friend ever finishes that sequential shifter, pm me=]
