PADDLE SHIFTERS FOR HOT RODS
The Shrifter®, a wireless paddle shifter, is the hottest performance invention of the new millenium! Turn your electronic automatic transmission into a paddle shifted manumatic The Shrifter™ is a patent pending wireless design that provides ultra quick up and downshifts without removing your hands from the steering wheel. The Shrifter® paddle shifter will change gears in milliseconds--Faster than any mechanical manual or automatic floor shifter. And you can switch on the fly between manual and automatic modes.
Twist Machine’s proprietary wireless electronics are “plug & play” compatible with leading aftermarket transmission controllers from Compushift, Mastershift, Powertrain Control Solutions, and Baumann Engineering. So our paddle shifter is easy to install. It's also safe. Unlike copycat paddle shifters, the Shrifter bypasses the arm on the side of the transmission. It speaks DIRECTLY to the electric shift solenoids that control the forward gears, so accidental reverse/neutral shifts are completely impossible. With the Shrifter™, power shifting your automatic has never been easier or more exciting! Of course, since the Shrifter™ only controls the forward gears, a separate mechanical floor or column shifter is required for “Park/Reverse/Neutral/Drive”--the same method is employed by ALL factory manumatics such as Porsche Tiptronic or GM Tapshift for safety reasons.
The Shrifter™ paddle shifter accepts popular aftermarket steering wheels and fits a wide range of factory and aftermarket non-airbag steering columns without modification. It does NOT work with airbag steering wheels and should never be used in street driven vehicles that came equipped with airbags from the factory. Combined with a modern electronic transmission and controller, the Shrifter™ paddle shifter adds performance and style to your hot rod.
APPLICATION: This paddle shifter fits popular 67-94 GM spline steering columns. This spline is also the industry standard for aftermarket steering columns from Ididit and Flaming River. If your steering column does not have 67-94 GM splines, please click
