Have a 7AT? The best $2 mod ever!

wilsonp · 02-20-2011, 06:37 PM

They seemed to thick too me, zero travel left, I was afraid it was tripping the switch though I didn't test it. Stacked some thinner ones with a cork one on top to leave a little travel.

Still made a nice improvement though I bought ten kinds of bumpers

But the 3M bumpers cut in half and stacked made a great spacer for my interior LEDs so they didn't touch the white lens.

Glad it worked out for you. You could of just filed down the bumper with a file to get your desired thickness. There is hardly any travel left with the ones I used but they still engage 100% of the time. Still loving it!

Just saw this thread, might have to try this.

Noticed that it looks like your picture from the driver's side of the wheel that you have a switch with up, down, left, right. Is this something from the Nav package or power adjustable steering wheel?

I just put them on my 2010 roadster.. and I gotta say.. it works,, pretty well!!.. nice short action!!. thanks for the tip!!

I think someone should make a special sensor in the visor that allows you to shift gears using your eyes. wink right eye=upshift, wink left eye=downshift. those would be some fast and effortless gear changes. only downside is you have to drive around like:

seriously tho, nice job/idea

njustidokite · 02-28-2011, 12:17 PM

great idea

bloodo · 03-10-2011, 12:08 AM

I used 2 cents to fix my trunk and now 2 dollars to improve my paddle shifter. It doesn't get any better than this.

Thanks for the great idea.

Awesome! Ive bitched in the past about the clunky feel of the paddles while shifting. Thanks!
