Have fun with this one :).

it is fun :) the design and computerized prototype work just fine, now it's time to build an actual prototype.

Realistically I don't think it would be that hard to set up if you're good with VBA(or some other programming language) and control systems.

I know, we were toying around with this idea (using paddle shifters) a few years ago.
Fun, but I doubt re-sellable. A person can feel if the clutch pedal is hanging and if the transmission doesn't want to go into gear. A cable that is ramming a car into gear because it was "told to" has no clue that the transmission isn't "ready" for the next gear.

sounds like broken shift forks waiting to happen, but after their replaced with steel ones and a double syncro 2nd It might work better... It'll be way tight and I'll give you mad props when it all works out...

The box wont let the shift take place if there is too much resistance :) When that happens you gotta try again etc. And you still have to use the clutch.... So you could feel that.

If you can get it to work well I would defenatly pay 500 for it

Yeah, I think I'll hang onto the enjoyment of manually shifting my not-racecar.

Agreed; this is one of the things that I think will make the EVO X not as enjoyable. Great for a racecar, but not a fun streetcar.
