So are you moving away from your bench seat?

I wonder how compact the stock 8HP shifter could be made. Guessing it is just a position sensor and CANBus encoder. Sure seems like someone could make a business out of it. Run the cable through the clutch rod hole in the firewall and mount it vertically to the fire wall. Maybe just a 2"x2"x6" box?

Ah well, just another wild idea to go with all the others I don't have a way to build. :D

Actually, Russel at Sound German, is working on it (push button shifter). I saw a video on his page the other day of a prototype in testing.. It's "one" of the things he's been working on.

Definitely keeping the bench. I'll just run the 8hp shifter with a boot and a stock appearing handle/knob.. Look how many manual cars came out with a floor shift. So it'll be a similar look.

I'll mock it up and see how it looks.. If I don't like it, I'll go with the dash knob dial idea and paddles
