Automatic manual gear shifter

[leeandrewj91]

Hi, I’m trying to do some little mods for my car and while swapping the shifter knob to a custom knob i noticed the plug for a remote gear shifter that goes to the +- on the side of the old shifter. Where can I find a custom remote gear shifter that plugs into this? Or what kind of plug is it so maybe I can rig one myself.

Can you explain exactly what your Bronco has now and what you want you want your Bronco to do after completing your modification?

Buy a Bronco Raptor steering wheel. Then you can use the paddles.

Oh my.
I completely misunderstood OP's post.
I thought OP was trying to remotely move his manual gearbox into neutral to enable some kind of remote start feature. Maybe that thought was just a leftover Bronco fantasy I had this past January.

Interesting. All Broncos have extra wires in the steering wheel harness for paddle shifting?

I'm not sure It's a direct swap, but it has been done and IIRC it didn't take much to do it.

Here is the thread I was thinking about:

Nice. It is a better looking wheel and having paddle shifters is nice. Too bad it says Raptor on it. Not that I have anything against the Raptor but it's kind of like putting Type R badges on a regular Civic.
