Will it fit my bike?

GSXR (all models) - CBR (all models) - YZR (all models) - ZXR (all models) - DUCATI (all models)
NOTE:  **Universal**  The TLS-PS2 Powershift system will work on any motorcycle application, however there may be need for some simple bracket fabrication to enable the body end of the shifter to be mounted if your motorcycle has a trellis style frame or you decide not to mount the body end of the shifter into the frame directly.

Will it fit my Car?

NOTE:  **Universal**  The Powershift will work on any motorcycle engine car application and other conventional automotive sequential gearbox applications, however there will be need for some simple bracket fabrication to enable the body end of the shifter to be mounted.  If you are installing the TLS-PS1 Powershift system to a Hewland, Drenth, ZF, Quaife or similar transmission you must check the suitability of the shifter operating force and stroke before ordering.

Technical support

As with all Translogic products there is free technical support over the phone and by email for our customers should you require any assistance with the Powershift installation.

The Powershift shifter is the most compact of all the gear shifter systems available which can select gears both up and down the gearbox.  Neutral can be selected easily by momentarily pressing either the up or down buttons.   The success of this innovative design is due to the control of the shifter action and its operating characteristics in being able to mimic the speed and  movement of the human foot/hand during it's shift cycle culminating in the perfect gearshift simulation.  The TLS-PS1 system comes with 2 weather proof tactile shift buttons that are suitable for mounting in 1/8" thick steering wheel spokes.  Each button has gold plated contacts to ensure only the cleanest shift signal.  These buttons can be removed and the button cables attached to an aftermarket paddle shift set-up also.  The TLS-PS2 system comes with a CNC machined aluminium handle bar bracket which houses the 2 weather shift buttons and is suitable for 7/8" handle bars. 

Gears can be selected manually after the shifter has been installed.  When these Powershift systems are combined with the AST Intellishift^TM Quickshifter ECU, TLS-PS-QSECU, full throttle upshifts without the use of the clutch are possible, also there is an auto-upshift feature which enables upshifts to be carried out automatically at a user defined RPM for those essential drags starts and straightaways.  (the clutch must be used for downshifts).  The optional Remote Shiftlight TLS-RS can be added when the AST Intellishift^TM Quickshifter ECU TLS-PS-QSECU is incorporated with the Powershift system.

General information

This Powershift system is electro-mechanical and therefore does not require any compressed air bottles or hoses like an air shifter system.  The unique shifter is a linear actuator design (not solenoid) incorporating a DC motor, spinning up at 25,000 RPM, planetary gearbox, lead screw arrangement and operates on a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) drive system for total control and longevity.

The Powershift ECU requires a single ignition-on wire to be attached to a suitable ignition-on supply, like a head light or brake light +12volt supply wire.    There are 2 ring terminal wires, battery positive and battery negative, that are simply placed on the battery terminals.  The `F' series ECU is mounted in a protected position under the rider/pillion seat.  

The CNC handle bar bracket is mounted between the left hand handle bar grip and the switch gear mouldings.   The Powershift shifter requires attaching between the gear lever and the chassis/frame or suitable custom made mounting bracket.
