Pneumatic Paddle Shifter for H-pattern gearbox

Hey all.

I'd like to share with you guys the project I was working on for the last 2 years. It's fully pneumatic paddle shifter system for any cable driven H gearbox. This is at the moment mounted in VW GOLF 2, FIA E1 hill climb car.
The ECU that's controlling the valves can also control the clutch so one could use this on syncro gearbox also. Average shift I get is 0.08s which I'm looking to improve. I still have few miliseconds in my sleave

I'm constantly trying to improve the system so comments/Ideas are welcome.

More pictures & videos of the car on my facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mmemotorsport

p.s.: sorry for bad video at the beginning of the movie. I'm an engineer, not a professional camera guy

Thanks!

Marko
