These days I'm driving Mike's 1970 teener since I broke my 73. With no radio I get to listen to the sweet sound of the 1.7L behind me and I get lots of time to think (probably a dangerous thing!).(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
So I got to thinking about transmissions and I remember someone commenting that there was a cable-shifter available from Patrick Motorsports, but that even though it is better than a stock side-shifter it still isn't as smooth as modern transmissions that were made to be cable-shifted. It being that Kennedy seems to make adapters to fit anything, is there a cable shifted transmission out there that would be a natural fit for a 914? (Of course you probably have to flip the ring gear.) Subarus come to mind as a possibility just because they have flat-4 engines, but I have no idea about anything else about the cars. |

I have a 911/02 (pull clutch version of a 901. MY's 70-71, 911) that I'm thinking of using in the GT project. I e-mailed Bruce Anderson regarding it and he stated that Chuck Stoddard used one in a 6 conversion:
QUOTE He used the 911 transmission case so that he had the pull clutch mechanism. Then he just used a 911 clutch cable to pull the clutch arm. I haven't gotten to that side of things yet. I'll probably need a little more info as I dig into it. In the end it's basically a 901 anyway. I have both the original side shifter and that tranny out of my 71, 911T to make things work. If anybody has any insight on Chuck conversion I'd like to know more. |
