Porsche paddles in DCT car?

acarr6 · 02-24-2021, 09:24 PM

Has anyone retrofitted any other manufactures paddles into a DCT wheel? Such as Porsche or other? Our mechanisms are pretty lacklustre in feel, and it's something I've been considering.

Would suggest a look into KMP steering wheels, very nice mechanical feel

Yes these are what actually got my initial thinking going, but would like to retain airbag

Interesting. Keep thinking about trying to fit my aftermarket M3DCT paddles on to my Porsche as I don't like the PDK paddles at all.

FYI - got a functional prototype working on our cars, fine-tuning the details

Looking to perfect these things in the next little while, here's a short Instagram post for a demo and sneak peak

Going to experiment with carbon skinning as a next step, got a bunch of carbon stuff from composites Canada

I'm so stoked to see this project of yours! Can't wait to see the final product!

Quick update on the project, paddles work and shift great. Gathered some feedback from a few motorsport friends, and the consensus was we could consider a revision with paddle angle to accommodate clearance with gloves.

Working on designing custom paddles perhaps sometime this week - feel free to DM me if there's a specific design that inspires our pursuit.

Speaking of paddles, I was browsing the Sim racing sites and there seem to be many CF paddle options that look like they fit the Ascher shifters. I haven't gone down to the detail of measuring the holes yet but they have the two hole arrangement the Ascher shifters use.

This site has tons of paddle designs and do fitment for Ascher shifters on request.
