Re: Shifters
According to the 2014 rulebook that I reread today Ed is correct.....the only trans that can be shifted legally with the E-shift is a vehicle that came OEM with a computer shifted trans and not all EFI vehicles have computer controlled transmissions.....my combo doesn't so I can't use one.....

Re: Shifters
Throttle body injected GM trucks started with computer controlled transmissions in 1991 HD2500 (3/4 ton) trucks and 1 ton trucks. 1/2 ton trucks started that in 1993. Camaro/Firebird/Corvettes began electronic shifting in 1994. Before that only thing the ECU controlled in the Trans was the torque converter clutch lock up.
I don't know about Ford or MOPAR.

Re: Shifters
If I'm not mistaken the later Ford 4R70W is computer shifted?

Re: Shifters
Personally, I find that shifting by hand is an advantage over an automated shifter.
