Finally invested in a Renn shifter, and hopefully will put to bed all those shifting woes once and for all!!
Not that my mechanic doesn't know what he is doing, but are there any off the wall issues that might be good to know before we start the project?? I have all new bushings otherwise. |

Just as a by the way, an early 80's 911 SC boot caps off the renn shifter very nice.

Make sure your clutch tube is fully welded at all the right points.
With the rennshift, the shift rod will sit lower in the tunnel. If your clutch tube has let go at the front, you may not be able to get into the 4/5 plane. Other than that, I highly recommend you install it yourself. It's simple to do, rewarding, and you will know it's done right. The job isn't even greasy...you don't even need to jack the car up. Plus, you can tweak the shifter adjustment until it's perfect after driving in real world conditions. |
