STM Ghost Shifter *coming soon*

We established a working relationship with Speedtech Motorsports of New Zealand in 2009, when project DS9 was in it's final stages of completion. It's been a pleasure working with the team and we enjoy watching the level of Professionalism they bring to the sport. Without further ado we proudly introduce the STM Ghost Shifter.

^You do it manually. The airshifter can't do it. How would it know when to downshift? It upshifts via the air ram by a signal from your standalone ecu. The best part is that, the tuner/user can select these rpm points and it will shift consistently at that rpm every time.

If you have a dogbox trans and drive it on the street. We need pics .

This will require a dogbox/Sequential transmission and Ikeya shifter. You can shift it manually if you disengage the STM Ghost shifter.

I have been getting quite a few emails with lots of interest and one of my customers wants to run it on their drag evo. He also attends a racing series that won't allow the air shifter. So he will use it when record hunting

Just got an update from STM. "We have modified it so it will work with a factory handbrake, is lighter, and has built in mounts for the solenoids. "



We are hoping to have the first completed unit in a couple of weeks.

Lots of interest but everyone wants to keep it a secret so they are not posting. I guess they are trying to be Ghost like

Who's going to be Ghost shifting at a track near you?
