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 |

Stock mounts and shifter work great in my race car. No missed shifts ever. I do not think I could drive a 914 that had a really good shifter in it.

Put over 200 HP and race slicks on your car and I think you might have a differnt opinion. My car shifted great with DOT tires and 100 HP too. LOL! And best shifting car is MX5 with six speed. Short positive shifts. I didnt mishift that car over 30K miles over mountain roads, AX and track days. This post has been edited by grantsfo: Sep 3 2009, 09:20 PM |

I have. My first race car was an EP 914. I had about 170hp and slicks. Never missed a shift. Put that car config through enough load and unload senarios and I think you might find a few little issues with a 200 HP plus car with a a stock shifter. Like I said I never expereinced issues at Laguna Seca or really anything at Infineon with my stock setup. However going into tight uphill turns at a Hillclimb and Infirneon T2 is one of those uphill turns that just misaligned things enough to force misshift. Remeber I'm a guy with 200K miles and 32 years of shifting 914's too so I thought I was losing it as I have never touched reverse going into 2nd gear. My co-driver expereinced same issues and he was pretty agile shifter who rarely mishifted his 914. But alas it all went away when I upgraded linkage from tunnel back. Perhaps it was due to fact rear of my car was not rienforced in anyway. |
