Not that it's not a bad option but it would take a lot of work to install on a C5 because of the sterring wheel & current air bag.
If they ever get the thread w/ custom steering wheel adapter off the ground, this may be a feasible project.

Most useless mod I think I've ever seen .......
The "paddles" are in the wrong place .....
And you still have to step on and hold the clutch pedal down so the actual shift occurs (the only thing this does is substitute an electrically controlled movement of the shift mechanism for your hand moving the lever) ......

What's the point .... other than bling ... maybe if you're a one armed midget it might be useful ......

...It is also possible to “stack” multiple shifts by pressing the paddle or button several times before pressing the clutch pedal. The Manual Shifter will then move straight to the requested target gear position

Thanks, Guys!
I'm glad I found this thread before I seriously looked into the MasterShift product. I was already looking at converting my M6 to an RPM 4L60E & thought this might be a less expensive alternative since I've already had my T-56 beefed up by T-56 Rebuilds. Been to their website & not quite sure of the advantages since U still need to depress the clutch pedal ( unless the shift throw solenoid works almost instantaneously ) but I GUESS U can't miss a shift w/this? Decisions, decisions!!

so...has anyone used this mastershift? Is there a product review im missing? I agree, why have one?, But i have to say it would be neat to have on a 6SPD depending on the actual "shift movment"
If the box, little motors, actuaters, slave mouse, or what ever you want to call could out shift the driver i can see the plus.
So how quick does one shift?
If its controled by a computer would or does it miss shifts?
