Works Bell Paddle Shifter NEO Kit Paddleshift Paddle Shift
Fresh from Japan is the Works Bell Paddle Shifter Kit.
Developed by a collaboration between Works Bell and Night-Pager (Keihin Exact Mill Ltd), the Works Bell Paddle Shifter Kit allows you to shift without moving your hands from the steering wheel !
The Works Bell Paddle Shifter Kit places specially designed ergonomic carbon fibre paddles behind your steering wheel which control your up and down shifts. You can shift gears just like an F1 car with a 7mm stroke of the precision engineered paddles !
The carefully made, beautifully detailed Paddle Shifter is composed of machined aluminium alloy and finished with a very hard wearing Alumite treatment. The carbon fibre paddles are adjustable to match the size of your hand or steering wheel by up to 15 mm on each side.
This product is 100% engineered and manufactured in Japan, with kind of quality and precision only found in genuine Japanese made products.
It is compatible with both Momo bolt pattern and Nardi bolt pattern steering wheels, and of course all Works Bell Steering Wheels including the Works Bell Original Steering Wheel, the Works Bell Team Orange Steering Wheel, and the Works Bell Yoshioka Steering Wheel.
Included with each Paddle Shifter Kit is a high quality application specific Works Bell boss / hub, and an application specific wiring harness for 100% plug and play installation.
The Paddle Shifter Kit can be used on various cars with semi-automatic transmissions with application specific kits for other models continually being developed. A full list of cars it is available for can be found below. Additionally a new universal version is now available. See the list below of models this kit is currently available for.
