It's a sequential shifter but still requires the clutch.

Here's another one for $2k. http://www.s1sequential.com/product/...hifter-t56-gm/

Far as i know, ( correct me if I’m wrong ) but non of these fit c5-c7 applications. Unless the torque tube shifter assembly is the same at the shifter that bolts directly to the trans, Camaro/mustang etc.

Website says the shifter can be remote mounted, so I assume it works with vettes.

8. REMOTE SHIFTING

One of the best features of the Bremer Sequential Shifter is the ability to remotely shift gears. The freedom is unmatched by any other shifter on the market today. Years of R&D has been invested to achieve a clutter free set up which anyone can install, and drive with confidence. Just one push/pull cable is all that is needed. So mounting the gear lever next to the steering wheel or anywhere for that matter, has never been so easy, or look so good.

The lower box on the C5 looks like this shifter would fit. The remote mount seems like a nice fix for using the vette transaxle and diff in a mid engine rear trans build like a GTM or something. Makes those build a little cheaper now.

Deal breaker for me though was no neutral. Unless a 100% track car or damn close, I can't do no neutral. Some situations of traffic and red light length...upgraded clutch...I can't do no neutral. They said they are working on a neutral solution in the future, but nothing now. If it had neutral, I'd own it. I've been in contact with the one company for over a year waiting for this...very disappointed.

If you check out the video, the LED gauge does indeed show N when it was demonstrated. I suppose you would have to push the clutch in and ratchet the shifter back down the gears to attain it (which may be cumbersome), but I believe neutral is still available. I want one!

A sequential box is like $20 grand. I think it very unlikely that our stock boxes can me made into sequentials for $2k. So what's the catch?

It's not a sequential box. It's a shifter that transforms the H-pattern into a straight forward/back motion. Still using factory transmission internals. If you build up a trans with dog ring engagement instead of OEM synchros then you could do clutchless shifting.

So I'm thinking there is no advantage to this unless you can downshift without using the clutch and or shift faster. With this H transformer I don't think either of those things are happening.

Agreed, as it stands imho it's not saving any time, the only real benefit with the product as it stands now is to avoid possible missed shifts. Having said that though I would think that it would be fairly easy to figure out how to incorperate a strain guage and ignition interupt to briefly kill the ignition when up shifting which should allow for no lift shifting up.

What would be really neat and I would think relatively low cost is if this shifter company would work with the guys at Autoblip to tweak and bundle their software. If they could combine ignition interupt for shifts, with autoblip (for rev matching) on down shifts it would basically eliminate the need to ever use the cluch (other then to get going) and give you all of the benefits of a sequential at a very reasonable price.

oh man that would make the 2K worth it

Strangely, the one person employed by the company had commented that there was no neutral feature. Even someone in that video commented below asking and someone presented themselves as an employee and stated no neutral unless clutch is used.

Need to email them directly.

Unfortunately I had to cancel my SEMA trip last minute. I was all booked and paid for...something happened, had to bail. 2 yrs in a row I missed it now....

EDIT: I rewatched the video, it does appear he hits some kind of neutral beneath first, then activates the reverse lockout then goes into reverse. Doesnt' make it clear though, and the commenter in the video also said it doesn't have neutral. I am buying this if it has neutral, 100%.

I can spend $2k in better ways, but if it allowed for clutch less shifting I'd be in

I spoke with Bremer directly. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for the corvette yet. They said Corvette is of the highest priority to them, but at this time it doesn't work.
