Hi Paul

I've got a Kliktronic gearchange on my GT-1. Not quite ready for SVA at the moment but engine running.

Have tried the gearchange and seems to work perfectly. I got no other gear lever so purely using the Kliktronic.

Just need to fit the ingnition interrupt for full throttle upshifts!!

Can't say yet how it works long term, but several others on here have used it with great success. I'm sure they will add comments.

Should be the nuts.

Be careful how you mount the solonoid unit, ensure that it is balanced and that the stroke length is correct, and you should be fine.

Cheers

Mike

I've got one on my Indy, coupled with an ignition interrupt to allow flat upshifts. took a bit fiddling to set up but works great now, reducing the transmission shunt by a large amount. a bit 'pose-y' but genuinely useful if doing drag strip dashes or track days.

I bought one and have fitted it along with a Translogic flatshifter. I also have a mechanical gearshift as a backup in case the electronic shift fails. Have not road-tested it yet, but it seems to be pretty powerful from the tests I did in the garage! Took me ages to set it up with the correct throw (the force it provides is progressive, so you need to use the full 25mm travel for effectiveness). Just need to get a gaiter to protect the unit from crap/crud ingress as I have mounted it horizontally.

Be interested to see any pics of your installations.
