electric shift or air which is more reliable
 

It time for me to switch to a auto shift in your opinion which one is more reliable?

electric or air shift
 

I see at our local track that alot af guys are using electric shifter's. I amssuming its more dependable. When I had my Altered I was going to go to an electric shift so I could keep both hands on the wheel. So I bought a used shiftnoid and msd controller from a guy on this site, but never did use it & of coarse I can't use it on my FED. , not permitted. Kris

I have electric in my truck that I installed and air in my dragster (it came with it) I like the electric better, due to not needing an air bottle.

I think the air might be alittle more acurate, but it sure nice is not having to worry about turning the bottle off and do I have enough air to last the race. I run air but I went over my whole system with a bottle of soapy water to make sure I didn't have any leaks. Your bottle will last so much longer that way. I can also fill my own bottles. All you need is access to a coke CO2 bottle. Freeze your bottle and fill. If I don't freeze I can only get about 8ozs of liquid instead of 10ozs.

x2 on not having to worry about turning off or filling the bottle. My car has an electric shift and so far so good. JMO

Are all you guys with electric running glides? I've heard some guys having problems with electric on three speeds. The 1-2 shift is usually good but the 2-3 is inconsistant. Does that sound right?

I should have said that this is a 3sp auto it seems that might make a difference. it looks like I was leaning towards electric until the last post, so is there a problem with the 2-3 shift using electric?

I use an electric shift on my glide, wired to the MSD Digital 7. It shifts at 7600rpm perfectly every time.
I have no idea how you'd use one on a three stage.

i use electric with a glide, also heard guy,s have prob with 2 to 3 with them.

I have an electric shift valve body in my glide , shifter stays in low and doesn't move , an electric solenoid in valve body moves valve to high gear , runs off a chip on my MSD 7 al3. works perfect everytime . :D
