Racing application. Who is using a gated shifter? Which one? Do you like it? Is it worth the expense? I've been fighting with shifting issues.. like finding 2nd when looking for 4th. Last episode ended with broken rocker arms. I've adjusted and replaced everything from the shifter to the solid trans mounts. It will do fine and then all of a sudden I've found second instead of 4th which results in a over rev. I have concentrated on my shifting and can't find a correlation to what causes this to happen. Any suggestions would be appriciated.
Thank you David |

+1 on Rennshift
I read elsewhere about extreme racin 914s that would have detectable chasis twist to the point that shifting in corners was super tricky. Not sure what level your 914 is at, if you are on race slicks, big HP, but no cage or chasis re-inforcement. I just AX, and the Rennshift makes finding the right spot purdy easy. The springs keep the shift lever in that 2-3 plane, getting anywhere else takes effort. Not a true gated shift solution, but a great improvement. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

I have a cage, but it's not tied into the shocktowers. When i'm on sticky slicks the chassis will flex enough to cause binding in the shift linkage when trying to shift while cornering.
