Automatic stock wheel in a Manual FR-R? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

SupraSerious · 06-23-2015, 01:56 PM

I was just wondering if the stock automatic wheel would fit on a manual car, if other than the paddle shifters it is the same. Of course I wonder if I can merely remove the paddles or what would need to be done. Thanks everyone!

i dont see why not. the manual wheel doesnt have any electronics attached so should be able to just pop it on (and remove pedals cuz they pointless)

Yes it will work and you can remove the paddles.

SupraSerious- Have you tried this?

While driving in my FR-S, I was thinking how I could make it better. I have a 79 Celica and the horn buttons were on the front and back of the steering wheel, right about where the paddle shifters on the FR-S steering wheel would be, within reach of my thumbs and fingers.

And so, I got to thinking, why not install an automatic steering wheel and wire the paddle shifters to the horn circuit. It is a much more convenient place for horn buttons rather than punching the center of the wheel.
