Reply to "Short Shifter"

FWIW, Lloyd Butfoy developed a modern paddle-shift mechanism as part of his bid to supply ZF 6-speeds for the Ford GT. Ford picked Riccardo for their transaxle supplier and I haven't heard much about the ZF paddle shifter in a couple of years. I'd call RBT Transmissions before I redesigned everything.
Info: the ZF 5-speed weighs 150 lbs with bellhousing & cluch linkage; dunno what the ZF 6-speed weighs or costs now. The Riccardo is longer & weighs 200 lbs with no bellhousing & costs around $18,000- when you can find one. Good luck rigging a shifter & mounts, too.
