How to Convert Manual Shift to Electronic Gear Shifting System
There are many versions and styles for electronic gear shifting systems.
When it comes to choosing between an ATV with an electric shift and one with a manual foot shift, there are some important factors to consider. Here are some pros and cons of each:
Electric Shift:
Pros:
– Allows for faster and smoother shifting
– Can be less tiring for the rider, as it requires less physical effort
– Can prolong the life of the transmission, as there is less chance of user error during shifting
Cons:
– Can be more expensive to repair if it malfunctions
– Requires a functioning battery, sensors and shift computer (ECU) to shift gears, which can be problematic and difficult to diagnose
– Can have a learning curve for riders who are used to manual shifting
Manual Foot Shift:
Pros:
– Generally less expensive upfront and in repairs
– Does not require a functioning battery, sensors or computer to shift
– Offers more control to the rider, as they can feel the gear changes and adjust accordingly
Cons:
– Can be more tiring for the rider, especially during long or difficult rides
– Requires practice and skill to shift smoothly and effectively
– Can cause more wear and tear on the transmission, shift shaft, and clutches if not shifted properly.

PUSH BUTTON SHIFTER
The GSM Push Button Shifter is an electronically controlled shifter that replaces the shift lever and offers precise, split-second shifting capability with the push of a button.
Its slim touch pad control module and compact, sealed actuator give you virtually unlimited mounting options for tight spaces and grueling environments.
The GSM has built-in contacts for neutral safety for simple wiring to the start circuit and reverse lights can be controlled from the GSM’s reverse circuit contacts.
Installation kits are available for most common transmissions and should be ordered with your GSM. An electronic vehicle speed signal is required and mechanical to electric speed signal generators are available for GM and Ford cable driven speedometers.
