Our solenoid shifters
automatically shift the
transmission at your preset
rpm or preset time, improving
the E.T. consistency of any
automatic transmission race
car. You're able to keep both
hands on the steering wheel
and concentrate on winning
instead of shifting.
Features
- Mounts behind your
existing shift lever. When
the transmission shifter is
pulled into low gear, the
electric solenoid is powered,
and "cocks"
automatically. You stage and
launch the car normally.
- 1-1/2 amp "holding
coil" keeps the unit
cocked until your engine
reaches the selected rpm - at
which point electrical power
is cut to the solenoid, and
our spring mechanism
automatically shifts the
transmission from 1st to 2nd
gear.
- Only two moving
parts so shifting is
extremely consistent and
reliable. Since spring action
does the shifting, this unit
is not affected by voltage
hanges, vibration, moisture,
condensation, or temperature.
- No maintenance is
required; just install it and
forget it!
- Because
nothing connects to your
shift lever, you can still
make "manual"
shifts at will. A manual
override provision allows you
to shift yourself, and also
to test the Solenoid Shifter
in the pits or staging lanes
before making a pass - even
without the engine running.
- The shift unit
mounts on a lightweight
bracket directly behind
forward pattern, gate style
shifters.
- For
dragster type applications
that locate the shift lever
between the driver's legs,
the shifter and Solenoid
Shifter can be turned around
backwards. (For use in
reverse shift pattern
applications, the customer
must fabricate a simple,
swing away bracket.)

Like all Dedenbear products,
our Solenoid Shifters are
engineered both for winning
performance and longest
possible life. The units are
permanently lubricated. Our
hard chromed, ground shaft
rides in a bronze bushing
inside the solenoid. The
ALUMINIUM mounting brackets
are black and red anodized
for corrosion resistance. The
units can be purchased with
or without an RPM2 switch
module or ST1 shift timer.
