dan-d, shifter looks good!

Jazz-N when I get my 8-Ball installed I'll post pictures.

Also socal, you do know that our auto HHR trans are 4 speeds right. I know B&M makes that shifter for a four speed aswell. Maybe is the wrong picture for the shifter. I'm sure you have it undercontrol.

We have been working with B&M on getting the Black Diamond shifter modded for the HHR:



They have been having problems with carbon fiber layup which has slowed production.
As soon as it's under control, we should be able to have a modded version for HHR's for sale.

This will also allow you to mount 2 gauges in the shift console.
It's a sweet setup!

Is the thumb switch a momentary switch for lets say nitrous? It looks like it has a seperate trigger for the shift lock.

Ooooooooooh! Hope much for the Black diamond? I'd get in line to reserve one...not crazy about the handle, but the guages are definatelately cool...anybody else mount some extra guages on an automatic? Any pics?

Yep. Works with line lock (no good on the HHR), or nitrous (no good on the HHR either!) Or you could hook it up to your horn relay...

I would hook it up to either my missles, smoke screen, or oil slick!

DangG CH! you're just full of good ideas!

The "missles" would work big time here in SoCal.



I think ol' Tom could even use that setup!

[QUOTE=-md- HHR]dan-d,
you do know that our auto HHR trans are 4 speeds right.

that is the thing I miss with the HHR,, with my Miata Auto I could go 1, 2, 3
with the O.D. off and get that "shift thing".. what is fun are the "slap stick" autos.. like the Charger. or even a damn Mazda 3 with a slap stick..
on the HHR ts is ok to go from L and wind out but one you hit I it runs the 2-3 thing "automatically" ... in my foggy brain I think my 92 5.0 Mustang with OAD would go from L to D but if you pulled back to L it would shift to 2 automatically...
it would be nice if we could get a 1-2-3-from the HHR ... maybe with the SS...
