Shifnoid: Leading the Way in Drag Racing Shift Technology
When fractions of a second separate a win from a loss on the drag strip, the precision of your transmission shifts matters enormously. Shifnoid — the flagship brand of Contender Performance Products Inc., based in Heath, Ohio — has built its reputation by engineering some of the most reliable and consistent shift activation systems in drag racing. Whether you run a Powerglide, a three-speed automatic, or any number of popular racing transmissions, Shifnoid has a solution purpose-built for your application.
Electric and Air/CO2 Shifting Systems
At the core of Shifnoid's lineup are their electric and CO2/air shifter activators. These systems allow drivers to wire their shift activation into an RPM-activated switch, a timer, or even a simple push button, removing the human variable from the shifting equation and delivering repeatable, hands-free gear changes every pass. The brand's automatic transmission shifter solenoids are a cornerstone of this technology — Shifnoid offers everything from standard-duty solenoids for most racing shifters to heavy-duty oversized units engineered for hard-to-pull shifters and extra-long shift cables.
Shifnoid's manual transmission shifter lever kits are designed to bolt onto popular racing shifter brands like B&M, Hurst, and TCI, converting them into automated, solenoid-driven performers without eliminating the ability to shift manually. This flexibility makes them a favorite among bracket racers and sportsman competitors who want automation without sacrificing driver control.
Complete Shift Lever Assemblies and Repair Kits
For racers looking for a turn-key solution, Shifnoid also offers automatic transmission shift lever assemblies that bundle a compatible racing shifter body with an integrated Shifnoid solenoid, safety switches, and all required hardware. These all-in-one packages streamline installation and ensure every component is matched for compatibility right out of the box.
Keeping race cars competitive across an entire season also means having access to dependable maintenance components. Shifnoid's manual transmission shifter repair kits provide replacement solenoids, relays, and ancillary hardware so racers can service their existing shift systems quickly without downtime between events.
A Broader Racing Accessories Lineup
Beyond shifters and solenoids, Shifnoid rounds out its catalog with throttle stops, starting line controllers, RPM-activated switches, transbrake switches, electronic shift controllers, and CO2 bottles and regulators. This breadth makes Shifnoid a one-stop resource for the trigger-and-timing electronics that modern drag race cars depend on. For any serious bracket racer or sportsman competitor, Shifnoid represents a proven, race-tested investment in consistency and performance.
