dstevens,

Clutch switch in addition to the up/down "strain gauge sensor"? I can't visualize how a clutch switch alone would work for down shift throttle blips?

After reading up on the strain gauge sensor I can visualize how it could measure forward/backward deflection in the shift arm -- and I "think" I can understand why such a sensor would be more suited to sequential motion rather than H pattern.

With that said, couldn't the same Up/Down with the standard tranny be fitted with a switch at the levers on the tranny -- combine this with a clutch switch and I would think one would have a relatively reliable system for no-lift up shifts and auto blip down shifts.

To expand on this, one could simply do a map switch in real time to turn the system off (say for pit entry and/or cool down lap), because my hunch is this setup would be hard to keep "active" for low speed situations and not suitable for street use?

Would there need to be an additional EFi module for this or can the existing expansion harness support these 3 inputs?

Rob.
