Title: Full Throttle Gear Shift Cut sensor Post by: Nikov on March 07, 2020, 12:47:50 pm I've just about finished collecting parts etc for my oval bug, one of the last parts of the puzzle is a flat shift sensor. I'm curious what other people are using.
Spec is: DTA S40 fuel and ignition 2443cc type 1 Berg 5 by Jussifin, straight cut dog engagement Cheers and looking forward to your input Niko Title: Re: Full Throttle Gear Shift Cut sensor Post by: Martin S. on March 07, 2020, 16:19:41 pm I wanna hear that thing rip thru the gears. :D

I know nothing about flat shifting but it has my interest (for the moment) and from what I've been reading it's more common with sequential gearboxes. I was looking at a gear shifter knob/top that incorporated a strain gauge to sense the pull/push motion and signal the ecu accordingly. all pretty complex :D Title: Re: Full Throttle Gear Shift Cut sensor Post by: dannyboy on March 08, 2020, 22:05:10 pm geartronics sell the shift cut gear knob :)

Does say it's for sequential gearboxes though. The geartronics one is nearly half the price ;) Title: Re: Full Throttle Gear Shift Cut sensor Post by: Nikov on March 09, 2020, 08:14:37 am The geartronics and flatshifter parts are what I’ve been looking at.
I was only wondering if there was something specific for the Vw box. The box is h pattern, having spoken to some friends who race in sprints, hill climbs, rally etc they’re using pressure sensing knobs.

IE if you had a clutch switch and set up launch control and your shifting above that limit... would that work? Or if you just want flat foot shifting and not launch control it would be easier...? Title: Re: Full Throttle Gear Shift Cut sensor Post by: Basti on March 09, 2020, 08:40:51 am Morning,
i would use the geatronics gear knob. they also have a inline sensor, but this is only M8 thread an can be damaged easyly. But your Problem might be that the voltage is going up in one direction and down in the other, as this is H-Pattern. I dont know if you can set up the DTA to make a ignition cut in both directions…. The shift must be perfomed with as less torque as possible so in my opinion ist a full ignition cut. If there are any Questions, just ask ;) Cheers, Basti Title: Re: Full Throttle Gear Shift Cut sensor Post by: dannyboy on March 09, 2020, 21:18:41 pm email dta and confirm the load cell will work before you buy anything. :)
