Default Steering wheel question
Will a manual steering wheel work on an auto car? If so I was going to change out the rev match and add my paddle shift off of my wheel. I know it may be a long shot. Thanks!

same wheel and foot print on the paddles. You'll find the main Torx Nut a Bear to break loose, best to get another set of hands to stabilize the wheel.

Swapping paddles is simple. One screw each.

Be sure to get a HIGH QUALITY T50 torx bit, (SnapOn recommended) as if you don't you will most likely stripe bit and bolt, quickly turning it into a difficult project. Be warned: These bolts are often in extremely tight, sometimes not.

Many recommend using a soldering iron to heat up the bolt first. It helps loosen the thread lock.
