Hi All,
I would like to start a discussion on converting shift buttons to paddle shift. I think and I very sure that a lot of people have thought about it (maybe already do also, but I haven't come across one). I am no expert; just have some thoughts on this. Just want to ask for opinion from someone more knowledgeable.
1. Starting with a car already with tiptronic, with shift buttons on the steering wheel. Is it conceptually logical/ do able to convert the shift button to paddle shifters?
2. The concept is; instead of the driver pushing the button directly on the steering wheel to shift up/down, the driver flips the paddle and the paddle hits the shift button. I do understand relocation of the shift button switch is needed to where ever suitable/do able position along the steering shaft.
3. Eliminating the complexity of the built, paddle shifters is the fixed one (it does not move along with the steering wheel.
I am welcoming any suggestions, opinion on this. Also we can see that there are parties selling aftermarket paddle shifters, but too bad they are not universal.
If this post is irrelevant, I am also OK if it is deleted by the admin.
Thank you in advance.
