Anybody running paddle shifter

[mcmlxix]

You still need a mechanical gear shifter to get from Park to Drive and Reverse. (Floor shifter?) I believe the Dakota Digital gear indicator is indexed off the transmission shifter arm, so it will only show the gear you manually/physically put the trans into.... not the gear you select while using the paddle shifter.

The ECM/PCM should have the data from the trans to know what gear it's in at any given time. The problem is not all readers/controllers have a way to "export" that data to an indicator for the dash...
