Update,

It is in and working well.

I installed a neutral saftey switch on the shifter arm at the trans to prevent cranking in gear. I am using a basic power window switch and relay to switch gears. The switch only has power when the brake pedal is depressed.

The car is so light that you can easily feel it go in gear, so you release the switch when it hits the gear you want.

It has really freed up the interior space not having a shifter lever, and the switch on the dash just looks cool.

I have about $3 in the conversion, as I built it with left over parts from other projects. This beats spending $125 on a new Hurst, etc. shifter for the T400.

In a different car I would have put a shift indicator light. Total Performance has those as well, but that would add $80 to the project. Although this complicates the car a bit, I am trying to keep the overall look simple and clean.


If I had it my way it would have only gotten a speedo and fuel gauge on the dash.
