I'm removing the shifter and all linkage rods from my '74 and want to use them for a side shift conversion on my nephews 914 ('71). My question is, when removing the parts from my '74 it seemed like I couldn't remove the front shift rod (the one in the tunnel) until I removed the engine. I pulled it out from the rear once the engine was removed, but I thought it should be removable from the inside via the holes in the tunnel. I tried every angle I could think of to get it out via the tunnel holes, but couldn't find a way. Is it possible to remove it from the tunnel through the shifter hole?? or better yet, am I going to be able to install it in the '71 with out pulling the engine?? I could've sworn that I did this on a '76 I used to own, but I can't remember if the engine was in or out at the time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

QUOTE(East coaster @ Mar 4 2004, 11:40 AM) Thanks James! I was starting to think I was losing my mind! I plan on using one of your shifters in my car with my 915 setup. What shift rod do I use with your shifter and a Wevo 915?? The 915 setups use the 911/tail-shift type shifter, so you would use the 911 shifter for a 915 from me. The shift rod is of the tail-shift type, but I am not sure which parts you have to come up with or are included with the conversion. |
