I realize that this is likely a simple question, but can someone explian the difference between the side shifter and standard factory setup?

The 914 trans was first a 911 trans. When it was adapted for a 914 it was turned 180 so the shift rod went from being very short to very long. The side shifter reduced the length of the rod and made for a better shift.

If you know of any local for sale, let me know. I'll bring adult beverages for the trouble. |
