Works Bell Paddleshifter Neo Universal Released - A Brand New Product From Works Bell

[TheTunersGroup]

Hi All,

The Tuners Group is very proud to announce a brand new product from Works Bell, the Works Bell Paddleshifter NEO Universal.

The new Works Bell Paddleshifter NEO Universal is a universal paddleshifter kit, which can be installed to virtually any vehicle.

WHAT DOES IT DO ?

The Paddle Shifter NEO Universal places specially designed ergonomic carbon fibre paddles behind your steering wheel. You can shift gears just like an F1 car with a 7mm stroke of the precision engineered paddles or use it to free your hands from "push to use" style steering wheel mounted buttons in racing applications.

The Paddle Shifter NEO Universal can be used to change gears on vehicles which were not equipped with a paddle shifter ex-factory, but which have an electrically controlled transmission.

For vehicles which have shift buttons in the steering wheel, the Paddle Shifter NEO allows you to replace your factory steering wheel with an aftermarket steering wheel, but retain control of the semi-automatic sequential transmission.

You can also use the Paddle Shifter NEO Universal as an extremely versatile switching device in custom and racing applications.

As you may know, Works Bell has previously only made it's paddleshifter systems available in vehicle specific kits for vehicles like the Legacy, Impreza, Fit, GS400, IS300, MR-S, G35, 350Z and RX-8.

The new Paddle Shifter NEO Universal changes the game completely, and allows owners of vehicles which previously a Works Bell paddleshifter kit was not available for, to enjoy the lightning fast gearchanges, convenience and cutting edge engineering of Works Bell paddleshifters.

CONSTRUCTION

The Paddleshifter NEO Universal is 100% made in Japan and contains the same cutting edge Japanese machining and technology as all Works Bell's other products.

The carefully made, beautifully detailed Paddle Shifter is composed of machined aluminium alloy and finished with a very hard wearing Alumite treatment. The carbon fibre paddles (shown above) are adjustable to match the size of your hand or steering wheel by up to 15 mm on each side.

The microswitch wiring is beautifully concealed within the shift mechanism for a perfect finish.

BOSS & STEERING WHEEL COMPATIBILITY

The Paddle Shifter NEO Universal ships with wiring installed, ready to be adapted to your application, so you don't need to mess around soldering wiring to the microswitches - it's already done.

It is compatible with both 6 bolt Momo bolt pattern and 6 bolt Nardi bolt pattern steering wheels. It can also be used with competition style 3 bolt steering wheel setups by using a machined adapter / spacer.

It is also compatible of course with all Works Bell Steering Wheels including the Works Bell Original Steering Wheel, the Works Bell Team Orange Steering Wheel, and the Works Bell Yoshioka Steering Wheel.

The wiring can also be attached to Works Bell's detachable Rapfix II Quick Release systems and Works Bell make a 4 contact version of the Rapfix II which is ideal for use with the Paddle Shifter NEO Universal.

The Paddle Shifter NEO Universal is 100% engineered and manufactured in Japan, with the kind of quality and precision only found in genuine Japanese made products.

CAN IT BE USED IN CUSTOM APPLICATIONS IN RACECARS ?

Yes it can.

For racing vehicles, you can use the Paddle Shifter NEO to activate electrical systems like your car to pit radio, your pit lane speed limiter, nitrous oxide systems, dash display and data logger scrolling controls and so on - if the system uses an electrical switch, the Paddle Shifter NEO can control it !

If you use a relay system, you can set such racing systems so that for example one pull on the paddle shifter as you enter pit lane activates the pit lane speed limiter, and a second pull on the paddle shifter as you exit pit lane turns the pit lane speed limiter off.

Similarly, instead of having to keep your thumb on a "push to talk" button for your car to pit radio system, a simple pull on the paddle shifter can start your radio transmitting back to the pits, and a second pull puts your radio back into receiving mode. This frees your hands for steering, and eliminates the need to hold down the radio button while you are trying to steer. You can install it with simple indicator light on the dash showing you when your radio is transmitting.
