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 this 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.

Enables gearshifts to be carried out by pressing a button

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 hand/foot during it's shift cycle culminating in the perfect gearshift simulation.  The system comes 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.  Gears can even be selected manually after the shifter has been installed.  When this Powershift system is combined with the Quickshifter harness,
TLS-QSECU, full throttle upshifts without the use of the clutch are possible,  (the clutch must be used for downshifts).  Typically 3 yards can be gained per gear shift and a saving of around 200ms can be made per gear shift for those long staightaways.

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) incorporates 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.    There are 2 ring terminal wires, battery positive and battery negative, that are simply placed on the battery terminals.  The Micro Logic control unit should be mounted in a protected position behind the driver seat or similar.
