Hi Mate, welcome to the forum. Looks like your post didnt work this time.

What you building? nice to see another Northerner on here.

hey ya...do u have any idea to do the automatic clutch system...? hopefully u can help me..cheers...

Are you talking for a bike engined car? Im sure ive seen some quick shifter kits but cant remember where. Someone will be along soon to advise im sure. Ive never had to look into them as mine is a conventional car engine set up.

well if it is bike engined then you don't need the clutch once on the move anyway, that's how the Klicktronic type shifters work.

it simply pulls the hydro lever...

of the hydro clutch..

offcourse you only need it for first to 2 and downwards..

but i'm sure you guys can program pics to to the jobs..

Tks

FSAE...

You only need to cut the ignition for a split second on the up-shifts. And then use the clutch on the way down.
