Hiya,

The short answer: Just about everyone with a Rennshift seems to love it. Just about everyone that doesn't have one, wants to get one!

The long answer: Run a search in the Garage (where this message should be) for Rennshift and you will find several threads with feedback on it.

Also, I think there is a post in the Member Vendors area that also has info about the Rennshift and more customer feedback about it.

I don't think you will find one negative review for it. I will say, if you haven't taken care of everything else (bushings etc.) in a sloppy shifting car, you will be wasting your money.

I realized last winter that my 914 was evolving into a weekend AX fun car, and bought a Rennshift before James raised the price $35. The 2-3 plane is soooo solid, and since most AX races are 2nd and 3rd gear for 90% of the course, it has helped immensely. Super confident 3->2 downshifts and 4->3 downshifts and never grind reverse on the 1->2 upshift. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
If you're primary cruisin, it might be overkill, but if you like pushing things a bit, it will almost eliminate embarassing (and costly) missed shifts. The bushing comment is right on, gotta have the entire system solid for the Rennshift to work its magic.

Can you run the rennshift/3.2/915/sideshift set up?

Or is that a cable application?

There are a few (non-cable) linkage options for converting the 915 to mid-engine use. They all use a 911 style shifter, and the 911 RennShift works great in this application.
