Default Re: My ZF Auto - Paddle Shifter Idea

There is already enough room in the FG's clock-spring to take the extra wire feeds required for paddle-shift.

Basically, you just need to connect the wires from the wheel mounted paddles, to the plug on the steering wheel side.... and from the clock-spring, down the column etc.

finding paddle shift buttons which fit nicely onto the wheel isn't an impossible task... but the resistance values would have to match those of the 6spd's Sports-shifter. They could be altered... but do need to be factored in.

Can't see why the paddles couldn't be wired into the loom from the Sports-shifter... but you may still need to move the Auto stick into the "sports auto" position, before the paddle-shifts can be used !??
