Sequential vs Paddle shifter
Paddle shifters are all the rage for european cars and I understand many people do want them but if you follow the lead of many motorsports around the world sequential shifters are used and they also provide that manual feel with the Auto transmission. So why has not anybody built one at a more reasonable price even at upto $1500 would be more acceptable than the $2300 for the mastershift. Could Twist machine or any other companies not see a market for this?
Thanks...

I understand your frustration. Creating said transmission would cost a lot of R&D, TCI has a new 6X speed auto that handles 850hp, but is is also $5k+. For what it comes with it's not bad but it's only a matter of time until we see cheap autos. GM will have to come out with one soon and 6L80/90Es will begin to get cracked.
I've been looking for a sequential/dual clutch/more sophisticated automatic transmission and I keep ending up at the TCI because the others are far more expensive.
If that answers your question.

I think you are looking for an electronic bump shifter as opposed to a steering wheel mounted paddle shifter?
