Hey all, I switched back to my stock humongous steering wheel and now things are pretty tight between the wheel and the gear shift...how easy is it to move change the pivot point without screwing up the linkage?
TIA Bryan |

This was the first modification I did to my 914. It's real easy.
1. Remove the shifter and remove the shaft from the shift assembly. 2. Then chuck it into a vice with the end that attaches to the linkage in the jaws. 3. Use a torch and heat the epoxy that bonds the chrome shaft to the forged base by the ball end. Yes, it's just epoxied in place(!) This will break the bond and the shaft will move free. 4. Clean all the epoxy off the end of the shaft with a wire brush or wheel 5. Position the shaft as you want it to be and tack weld it in place with a MIG or TIG welder. I found that the shift rod was originally pointed about 15 degrees toward the driver. If I repositioned it so that it was in a straight back configuration, I was comfortable to drive with the stock wheel. 6. Verify the position in the car and if O.K., finish weld the part. Mine is very comfortable to drive now with the stock wheel installed. Hope this helps. . . Attached image(s)
