D,
Here is a short bit of info on the Sequential Shifter setup:
The Sequential Shifter unit is assembled directly onto the Porsche's gearbox. Positioning the unit on top of the gearbox has one distinct advantage: the shifter knob is much closer to the steering wheel / driving position. An electromagnetic support is employed as soon as the unit is brought out of neutral-idling range and has been placed between each gear. Safe and quick shifting capabilities are the result. In addition to the Sequential Shifter unit, a microprocessor control unit is installed on the passenger side with slight modification to the shifting block.
The advantages of Sequential Shifting:
• Quicker and more precise shifting
• However rare depending on skill level, no more costly shifting mistakes
Gear changes that are fast and safe result from the Sequential Shifter design. The Sequential requires hardly any getting used to. The traditional H-pattern gear scheme is replaced with a fixed, linear gear scheme. Shifting up is as simple as pull and downshifting depressing the gear lever. The built-in electromagnetic support is employed automatically upon shifting above neutral and the desired gear engaged. Shifting times are programmed according to engine speed.
• The employed gear is shown on a clear, legible and dimmable digital display installed inside or on the instrument cluster.
• "R" representing the reverse gear,
• "O" the neutral or idling range
• Numbers "1" - "6" display the engaged gear.
The complete system can be installed within 5-6 hours and reinstallation of the series transmission presents no problems.
