Sequential shifter

[Barney Dsm]

In the process for building a custom sequential shifter for a 1g awd stick. Seems like the other options are to spend some serious coin which is bull

 

[ThunderChild]

ok, im interested.

any particular reason why? do you plan to road race with it?

 

[Barney Dsm]

No road racing just think they're cool and I have free time at work.

 

[arrowhead]

Get it done, please.

 

[Barney Dsm]

Guess people really want these huh ?

 

[C'LO]

We are just very limited on transmission mods,

I'm actually working on this too are you planning on selling it?

 

[Barney Dsm]

Idk maybe

 

[Barney Dsm]

Chump if ya wanna pm me we can talk designs

 

[Barney Dsm]

Mine is all mechanical

If anyone is seriously interested these have been available for a while.

[Barney Dsm]

1500 no thanks that's why I'm building my own. Stated that when I started the thread. Stuff like that is available but waaayyy too expensive

 

[BlackGSXEclipse]

You know what they say, you gotta pay to play.

 

[Barney Dsm]

That's almost the price of another dsm so no

 

[BlackGSXEclipse]

But if you need a sequential shifter then why buy another dsm?
It's one of those things that when people are actually in need of it, then they pay for it.
Like a dogbox Trans for example, for the price of a dogbox you could buy a very nice dsm, but no matter how nice the dsm is, it's not a dogbox. If that makes sense.

What kind of mechanical/engineering background do you have to be able to build a working sequential shifter?

 

[bonecollector]

There is going to be quite a bit of r&d time involved along with trial & error and to do it half ass without a digital gear indicator would make it pointless.

A couple options you have are, To use a rack and pinion design to rotate the two channeled plates that will operate the shifter cables.

It looks like SQS might rotate their gear selector plates with a shift pawl system.

I think any evo 5 speed will work. Been looking into one of these for a while. Dogbox helps but doesn't fix miss shifts.

You know they way those works pretty much requires a dogbox? They shift way to fast for a synchro box.

Aircraft mech plus many years working in maintenance/mill shops and just general mechanical aptitude

Can you make a real sequential selector inside the transmission? like what MTI racing made for corvettes. http://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...equential-transmission-conversion-system.html

full benefit can't be realize if you make shifter that can only move up or down. It still defeat the purpose of shifting quickly. Ikeya formula shifter are over priced and only mimic what real sequential transmission does.

Sequential is the shifter. its nothing to do with inside the transmission.

I will probably eventually get one of these shifters because normal shifting a dogbox is not that much fun, sequential would just be funner.

 

[Barney Dsm]

Exactly it's more fun and different ! And if you could do it for cheap (less than 100) out of pocket why not!

Id like you to post updates on that. Is it going to be mechanical or hydraulic?

Mechanical and probably a bit over $100

I'm using left over parts from work so almost free for me
