Default Paddle Shifting, Ferrari Style

This is a really dumb question but I am very curious. Can you make a Civic or Integra, etc... Paddle Shifting like Ferrari's? I am not asking why would I, I am asking if you could...

With money you can do anything.

Quaife (I think) makes sequential shifters for any car. Only costs $15,000 for one.

Quaife makes seq shifters, so does HKS to an extent (but not sure about a FWD platform)

They both also make dogboxes.

clutchless manual.

It's widely used in WRC and other motorsports.


Instead of the gears being helixcal cut they are straight cut, allowing the transmission to be shifted at a specific RPM instead of having the clutch being disengaged.

Saves tenths of a second kind of thing -- also it makes a real cool whining sound

Yes, you could.


Keep in mind that the 15 grand figure is just for the transmission. You would have to design and create the electronics to paddle shift it yourself. I say another 5 grand EASY
