Been considering a sideshift trans for my 1970 914/6. Know it works a lot better than my tailshifter although I`ve heard there are some internals that vary from a 4cyl tailshifter - true? I know the sideshifter would be a better conversion but curious if the internals (ratios ) are different. Any trans guru`s care to chime in in?

I converted my -6 to a side shifter and haven't regretted the change. If does shift nicer, and was an easy conversion. Simply swap out the trans, shift linkage, and the firewall bushing. All bolt on without any major issues.
The speedo does read off from what my iPhone's speedo app says using GPS, but otherwise it's a great upgrade. BTW, I did keep the original transmission and shifter parts for later if I ever sell the car. |
