as many of you know, I was on a personal quest for a manumatic FD. Well, I failed and succumbed to the dark side, but now you may not have to. Coupled with the PCS TCU, this wireless paddle shifting hub may be the key to your f1 dreams.

it's cool but I bet torque would still be pitiful at a complete stop

So bascially we are paying 500 to shift by paddle instead of using hold and going through the gears?

NO! you are paying $539 for the paddles, $200+ for an aftermarket wheel, $850 for TCU and wiring harness. It's still cheaper than my 5 speed swap, until you consider that I had already bought all of the other stuff. If this had come out earlier, I probably would have stayed single for a while longer, if not forever.

Im probably going to be the first test bunny, also add either a 4.33 diff or a 4.1 i dont know yet. Im convinced that we could do something really nice with our autos.
