Using CAN BUS to gather transmission info and to shift on a 360?

Yes, I would probably program it to send multiple up-shift commands in rapid sequence. That does seem to work okay when actually using my fingers, although I'm not sure how "quick" the computer would be able to do it and have the transmission react properly.

Fun thought experiment though. By now, I'm sure a bunch of you have figured out what I'm thinking of doing. I've told a few people, and they think it's a bit dumb, but perhaps worth a try? Installing a gated shifter that has electronic controls attached to it, along with some "detents" to make it feel like a real shifter. Then that would control the shifting of the car instead of the paddle shifters. It could be a really trick project, or it could be stupid. At the worst, it would be similar to my driving simulator when driving it without a clutch?
