Cav f1?

[Mike McCormick]

I found this CAV GT40 on the Fantasy Junction site, gorgeous car but unusual F1 setup, still uses a clutch pedal. Does anyone know what might be involved to change this to a manual shift?

Thats a Master shift system....all thats needed is a regular shifter system for a ZF and you are back in business...
Currently the trans is still cable shifted with the mastershift buttons...its just run by the two solenoids in the grey box mounted in the nose of the car...
Good luck with your project..

I saw a true sequential shift box at the 25 hours of Thunderhill in the GTM car. It's called a mendeola trans. I am thinking of putting it in my car as they had a great experience with it.

That's a beautiful looking car - I really like the lines that show up so well in silver, really georgous.

I have a sequential 6 speed with dog engagement in my GT40 (Elite Racing Transmissions). Just sorting out some details regaring the titanium paddles at the moment

From what I have learnt, pneumatics over electric solenoids is a much safer way to go. Solenoids seem to really pound the inside of the Transmission!
