914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Cable shift for a tail sghift trans ?

Posted by: bdstone914 Jan 17 2018, 07:57 AM

I have a customer who is building a 914 trike using the back half of a 914 with 914 trans and suspension with a V8 Chevy engine. I think he is going to need a cable shift but I wonder if it would make much difference if he uses a tail shift or side shift trans. I don't know how either trans could be setup with stock type shift rods. I just wonder of a tail shift would work as well for hm ?

Cableshift.com makes a system for a side shifter but not a 914 tail shifter.

Tail shift would be easier to make a cable shift. There was a subaru conversion a long time ago that did it and im sure the info is somewhere.

Hi Bruce,

I would call the owner of Cableshift and ask him,
He is a very nice guy and will answer your questions. I am getting one of his units for my 930 box for my V8 car. With Tail Shifter
