Air-shifters use high-pressure air from a storage bottle to shift the gears of a vehicle when triggered by a button controlled by the driver. Special sequential transmissions are used for air-shifter applications. At the instant of the shift, power to the engine is also cut so that the clutch is not required.
Air-shifters operate more quickly and positively than you can using your arm (car) or foot (motorcycle). They are used almost exclusively for racing applications where saving a few milliseconds can be the difference between a win and a loss, and where a missed shift can result in a $pectacular engine di$a$ter. Imagine the brief but intense experience of sitting straddled on top of a disintegrating 1000+HP pro-stock motorcycle engine, running wide open in neutral, while traveling at 150mph...

Cable run from back side of shifter to the tranny. The center console will have to be taken out, its easy to remove. Cable snaps into the bottom of the shifter mechanism. Hooks to the tranny with a shim type clamp. Located on drivers side below the break master cylinder. You will need to remove the intake hose from the throttle body to the air box. To include the airbox and filter. The cable has grommets that keep it secure and keep water and air out of the cars interior.
