I had an idea that I've found on at least on car before. I'd like to raise the shift knob to better clear my new Momo seat and be closer to the steering wheel. My idea is to combine and extended shift lever with a short shift kit. I'd expect I could work it so I have nearly the same resolution and shifting speed as to not wear out the brake bands.
Opinions? This is the car I found that did it: http://www.914club.com/bbs2/index.php?show...p;mode=threaded |

My shift knob rests at about 4'oclock in relation to my small steering wheel. I have the rennshifter bumped up almost half an inch just low enough so the shift rod does not rub. I added a "ricer" bolt-on extension to the top, then drilled that and added a big knob on top of that. So, it is a short shift kit (rennshifter at 33% throw reduction) with an extender.
Luv it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Some day I will just add a draft beer tap handle (have several in my beer stuff collection) to the shift rod for the ultimate bolt-on extender (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) THAT will probably piss-off the AX race tech inspectors, so the idea remains on the shelf |
