WIRING FOR TIMED SHIFTING
The STOP B output can be wired to an automated shifter for timing your shift.
There are 3 different types of automated shifters commonly used in drag racing. They are:
1. CO2 or “Air” Shifter: Air shifters require +12 volts to be applied to fire the shifter and make the gear change. Set STOP B to
“2-STAGE” and the type to “LINKAGE / DISC”
2. “Hold” Type Electric Shifter: Hold type shifters such as Dedenbear models SS-2, 3, 4, 5, & 6 require a constant +12v to hold the
plunger back. At the shift point +12v is removed and the spring pushes the shifter forward. Set STOP B to “2-STAGE” and the type to
“BASEPLATE”
3. “Push” Type Electric Shifter: Push style shifters use a large high amperage solenoid that requires the use of a relay or a starter
style solenoid to handle the load. These style solenoids use voltage to push the shift lever and make the gear change. You MUST use
a relay or starter solenoid to avoid damage to the LIGHTNING. Set STOP B to “2-STAGE” and the type to “LINKAGE / DISC”
