A revolution in SHIFTING
 

http://www.altronicsinc.com/media/pr...ages/shift.jpg
Altronics Inc introduces "SHIFT" a revolutionary shifting system! This system replaces conventional shift linkages, shift cables, CO2 bottles, shift solenoids, and RPM boxes with one integrated, safe, reliable, and simple to use system.

The unit currently used in our Super Stock test vehicle for the last two seasons was first shifted repeatedly over 35,000 (thirty five thousand) times on actual test fixtured transmission before being put directly into vehicle.

How's that electro-magnetic clutch release coming along with NHRA approval?

Re: A revolution in SHIFTING
 

I don't understand what your question is referring to?

Re: A revolution in SHIFTING
 

And why are tracks having problems finding new blood to enter into a dying game???????????????

We need to start eliminating push button / electronic devices altogether. This kind of crap is totally ridiculous.

I can't imagine this selling well unless you're a high end SSer or Comp racer with no expense spared

Re: A revolution in SHIFTING
 

Not sure I agree with that. Carburetors are out, fuel injection is in. New blood wants computers. Every new car has fuel injection and an electronic controlled transmission not the 30 year old technology that is in most of Drag Racing today. Can't imagine to many 18 years old being interested in a carburetor.

High end? SHIFT will retail in the $600 range. Figure out how much a good conventional shifter, CO2 bottle, rpm controller will set you back?

Thanks for your input though!

Re: A revolution in SHIFTING
 

Does it work with a 16 or higher voltage system?

Re: A revolution in SHIFTING
 

Wondering if you have explored that for manual transmissions and along the way getting NHRA to accept one.

Re: A revolution in SHIFTING
 

For sure! That is what I run and we also manufacture the PowerLite Lithium 16 volt batteries if your interested.

12 or16 volt, works exactly the same with either!

Re: A revolution in SHIFTING
 

I think lack of new blood is more from lack of them not wanting to do anything that requires effort or work.
Shift in my opinion would be what new blood would want.,it is technolgy,looks like you would use your thumbs as they do texting.

Looks like good ideal and neat product, but not for me,I'll keep banging gears as long as I'm racing.
Hope you sell alot of them.

fred--interesting gadget---coupla ???? I see ya are using it with a Stef"s DEEP pan how well does it fit with
A) a standard depth pan ?
B) any type of a Trans shield it appears you have NONE in the demo film?

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 ???
