That looks a million times better. Nice work!

All I had to do was enlarge the mounting hole, attach the cable ends and cables, and adjust the rigging a small amount for all four cables. Very straightforward job. Thanks for the advice.

Looks great! Just watch out not to grab the wrong lever. My first dual lever, I had in reverse and tried to put in neutral and grabbed wrong lever.. vvvrrrooommm... didnt hit anything, but it was close!

I'm not sure what to look for. I have the same style throttle you had, I have TRS drives and they shift electronically. Most of what I have found shifts with a cable. Any suggestions?
Here's some photos of what I've got.

Unfortunately, no. My setup was 4-cable, two for throttles and two for mechanical transmission shift. I have not seen an electrically shifting setup. The only electrical in my setup are the switches for starter lockout, when not in neutral.
