A) a standard depth pan ?
B) any type of a Trans shield it appears you have NONE in the demo film?
C) is it N/IHRA accepted?
D) the silver control panel looks like it is designed for a "normal" steering wheel will it accomodate a dragster butterfly wheel with out horrendous mounting plates/modifications?
E)What is the total weight of the whole package? vs say a 10 oz co2 and shifter plunger ???
F)Does this totally eliminate any type of aftermarket shifters ie> Hurst/Cheetah etc???

Thank you FED387

Pan depth makes no diffrence in mounting actuator.

Meets NHRA/IHRA requirements.

Controller is designed to bolt to Grant Style wheel, but 3x4x1" size allows it to fit much smaller wheels, even butterflies I have seen (may require bracket on butterfly?) Plus Dash, floor, console, roll bar mount.

Entire system weighs less then 2.5lbs

Eliminate conventional shifters? Lets hope so...There hasn't been a cable driven shifter on an OEM car in some years!

Thanks for the positive feedbacks! This product has taken A LOT of work, but it turned out awesome!

I am not familiar with every different shield/blanket type, but here is an image of how it mounts to the trans pan. I am working on instruction sheets and video as well.

Fred-----ok ---now how low does it hang down for say on a super comp dragster??? and looking at the video did I detect some movement of that whole rectangular tube as it is shifting??? seems to pivot as it goes thru the gears at that that angle bracket am I correct--- will it hit the track on the bottom side of a really low car??? it appears to be about 3-3 1/2 inches wide---that pan is probably a 2inch deep pan correct??---thanx FED387

We have a different mount for a dragster. Not for ground clearance, but for chassis. The dragster/powerglide mount locates actuator "mid" transmission coming down on an angle. (Sorry don't have picture at this time). THis keeps it out of the way of everything. This mount will also work with doors cars too, so all powerglides may end up mounting this way.

The angle it does move is minimal as the pivot is towards the rear of the case. My headers are about 2" lower the the actuator, so although it might be possible you would need a really low car!

Actuator is on 2x2x7".
