AMT - Automated Manual Transaxle?

[Paul Sutto]

Has anyone looked into setup of an AMT on a sequential transaxle?? Magnetti marelli has electronic/mechanical actuator available and I'm curious of this option for moving to an automated setup on a sequential transaxle.

Found this setup. They used a motec M1 ECU and magnetti Marelli actuator for the physical shifting on a Sadev. It even has a half shift for neutral.

Sounds like a $50,000.00 set up to me. I could be wrong, but it sounds very expensive for the electronics, then finding the proper dog box. If the Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo is running it, it can't be cheap.

Really? 50k seems high. Wonder if other options are available for sequential shifting?

Install a Turbo Hayabusa engine. Good for up to 500hp. Upgrade the clutch(no hole shots!) and your good to go. Save hundreds of pounds and become very familiar with internal transmission rebuilds. Sounds like a win win....oops trans explosion. Im sticking with an LS3 and a G96.

LoL - Point taken!

iirc Garry put a paddle shift on his slc with a mazda 3 rotor plus mendeola sequential gear box. I forget which ecu he used. I think it was Haltech.

I'd think a simpler cheaper solution that would perform very close IF not give you the exact feel/sound, is to find a setup engine/tranny that uses a PDK type trans from OEM. Like a GT3 or any 991. Not cheap, but OEM durability. Most truly sequentials come with race type maintenance schedule.

The CN cars like Ligier and Wolf all use a Sadev 6 speed with a no lift shift, I wonder what system they are using?

The Mastershift system can be used on a Mendeola sequential and basic system cost is just over $2K. It shouldn't be hard to configure it to shift from input from an ECU versus the paddles.

Can you invert them if needed?

And I believe the haltech has no-lift shift programming capability built in. I followed Garry's build with interest. Pretty trick system.
