Powershifter use?
NOTE: These high specification Powershift push button gear shifters are intended for drag racing and closed course racing and are not intended for commuting purposes. The Powershift systems require a service every 10,000 shifts or at a 6 month period for continued performance and reliability. It is strongly recommended that you calculate the kind of use your Powershift system is likely to experience to ascertain the product suitability prior to purchase. If you have a high use application why not consider the spare shifter upgrade so you'll always be able to race even during service intervals. Service cost is £35.00
Will it fit my Car, shifter Kart?
NOTE: **Universal** The Powershift paddle shift system will work on any motorcycle engine car application or shifter kart, however there will be need for some simple bracket fabrication to enable the body end of the shifter to be mounted.
Technical support
As with all Translogic products there is free technical support over the phone and by email for our customers should you require any assistance with the Powershift installation.
Features Enables gearshifts to be carried out by pressing a button
This latest Powershift push button gear shifter is the most compact of all the push button gear shifter systems available which can select gears both up and down the gearbox. Neutral can be selected easily by momentarily pressing either the up or down buttons. The success of this innovative design is due to the control of the shifter action and its operating characteristics in being able to mimic the speed and movement of the human foot/hand during it's shift cycle culminating in the perfect gearshift simulation. The TLS-PS1 system comes with 2 weather proof tactile shift buttons that are suitable for mounting in 1/8" thick steering wheel spokes. Each button has gold plated contacts to ensure only the cleanest shift signal. These buttons can be removed and the button cables attached to an aftermarket paddle shift set-up.
These latest Powershift paddle shift compatible system now have faster repeating gearshifts resulting in successive gearshifts within 200ms! (Note that once the Powershift is installed gears can only be selected manually by `back driving' the shifter
General information
This Powershift push button gear shifter system is electro-mechanical and therefore does not require any compressed air bottles or hoses like an air shifter system. The unique shifter is a linear actuator design (not solenoid) incorporating a DC motor, spinning up at 25,000 RPM, planetary gearbox, lead screw arrangement and operates on a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) drive system for total control and longevity.
The Powershift ECU requires a single ignition-on wire to be attached to a suitable ignition-on supply, like a head light or brake light +12volt supply wire. There are 2 ring terminal wires, battery positive and battery negative, that are simply placed on the battery terminals. The `F series' ECU or electronic control unit is mounted in a protected position on the vehicle. The Powershift shifter is mounted between the gear lever and a fixed point either on the engine or on the chassis
