Has anyone ever herd of a mustang with pattle shifting? i have an 05 mustang gt and kinda wondered if it would be at all possible to put a pattle shifting transmission on it.

 

im sure there is a way but i think you would need and automatic trans so you can get a different solenoid for the trans and wire it up to the steering wheel.

 

The auto tranny with a solenoid might work, but i doubt it. that would be a lot of strain on it. i would say that a conversion like that would cost you a pretty penny. not only would you have to somehow get paddles on the steering wheel, you would need a tranny that is set up for it....as far as i know. only expensive cars come with that kinda thing. again, i have NO first hand knowledge on this, just a car guy taking a stab at what it would take. =) sorry if i am completely wrong.

 

Pretty much anything is possible...
However it would cost you A LOT of money to have this conversion done.
A lot of newer cars are adding Paddle Shifting. ie: New Lancer's [including non-evo's] have paddle shifters, and a few other cars.

Like they said I think you would need a tranny for it and probably some weird steering wheel conversion stuff... Either way it will cost Thousands of dollars.

Its kind of funny you mentioned it because I was thinking yesterday when I was driving around that it would be awesome to have Paddle shifting in the Mustang. But its all personal preference. I know a lot of people here would say paddle shifting is dumb.

 

paddle shifting is dumb...lol jk but im not a big fan i prefer the traditional stick shift because if you hit the downshift paddle too many times by accident you could blow your tranny

 

there is a conversion kit out to allow you to do this, its like 4 or 500 bucks

 

No link or anything? I won't believe it till I see it installed on someone's car.

This might be what you're talking about, but I'd have to see it installed on a stang first before I believed it worked.

 

what would be the point? it's not like it would make the car faster or the trans shift quicker.

 

switch found it... google is hard to use i know....
