My friend from KAPS send me this which is available for owners of 5sp/6sp
Sequential Shifting System SSS Drive KAPS Transmissions,but beware is expensive(around 3.7k AUS Dollar without shipping).

Here is video Subaru STi with this paddle shift
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKZSF...layer_embedded

 

is this similar to the Ikeya shifter?

 

Dosent really advertise the shifter as the camera is faced out the window rather than at the shifter. For that kind of money you could build a good box and just flatshift, good drivers rarely miss gears, but it does happen....

 

I'm not sure at this but here is full detail about

Probably best advert is this ex Andy Forrest car(AFP).
This company have great name in building transmissions

4,083.00 AUD = 2,564.33 GBP

that'll be a 5k ish engine build..
a 3kish paddle conversion
and a 7kish supporting mods.. lol on my dream car spec..

man i need some overtime.

 

Hi matey have look at this http://www.nengun.com/ikeya-formula/sequential-shifter

 

is that the same item at a cheaper price?

 

I think is similar to KAPS,but you can check on Youtube how it works and you can buy this(motion feedback paddle shifter,which is same like i have) http://www.ikeya-f.co.jp/en/index.html

 

this shifter is about £1600

 

Yep,but much cheaper like Kaps.
You are mention before this and my friend confirm,working very well on Subaru

 

are their any downsides to these kits? i take it you can have paddle and the stick working, just like the wrc cars?

can they break at all? or pretty reliable?

 

Hi there for any question about this you can ask Matt Clark of Roger Clark Motorsport(which use these shifters)and here is interesting thread about this https://www.scoobynet.com/drivetrain...rsion-kit.html
Which i know from KAPS yes you can use paddle shifter and stick,is up to you.Downside is maybe just:clutch is required(is not clutchless) and probably you must this fit which will be pricey(or if you are good with spanner or DIY,will be much cheaper)

 

On Ikeya website is available pdf with instruction but is in Japanese,maybe help

 

How are they the same or similar?

The KAPS system converts your car to a "flappy" paddle based system and includes hydraulics for clutch operation. (i.e. You just pull or push the paddle by the steering wheel ala wrc and dont press the clutch during shifts)

Whereas the ikeya kit bolts inplace of your shifter turning the H pattern sequential. (up and down) and you still need to operate the clutch.

Completely different.

 

Did'nt Andy Forrest run this system on his Classic?

 

Hi matey you are probably mean 6 speed Full sequential Transmission which with sytem is operated clutchless with this Sequential Shifting System SSS Drive KAPS Transmissions
Here is article about this http://www.sssdrive.com/news_eng.php?id=946
Are similar in some details,but KAPS is more advance and is controlled via hydraulics

 

Hi Andy sold his car to CR or Poland(in this i'm not sure),and KAPS convert this car to LHD plus equip this car with fully 6 speed Full sequential Transmission which with sytem is operated clutchless with this Sequential Shifting System SSS Drive KAPS Transmissions
I

 

i'd want the clutchless style one if i do go for it at some point. would be wiered clutching down for paddle
