Mike,

Your DVD's on gearbox rebuilds are so instructive. How about one on gearchange adjustment?

I know you are over explaining the procedure over and over and your notes supplementary to the video are well written, but a picture has the greatest likelihood of producing the 'aha' moment.

I have been all over my linkage - multiple trips up and down the street with crunching gears bringing startled neighbours to their front fences,babies crying and dogs barking.

It seems as though the adjustments required are quite minute but to see it actually done would be of immense instructive impact.

Hope you can oblige. It may help me regain some goodwill with my neighbours and also recapture much loss of face.

Thanks

David

Not to put any additional pressure on Mike, and not knowing either the PITA or cost to create a video, I'd buy another Dr. Evil video in a heartbeat.

Just saying Mike.

I think Dave has one with Zach and ScottyB as guest stars.

I just viewed the tranny video (no crude porn jokes now...) and it's great. And yes, I'd buy the proposed shi(f)tter video as well.

As a newbie of less than a full year with these teeners I never thought that this shifter thing would be such a focus. I mean seriously? Buying a practice car to perfect the art of 914 vague shifting? Bushings this, fluid what and side that. And I just bought this thing cause it had a cheap VW engine, got great mpg, drove well in the curves and could drag the hardtop with me. Who knew the extras that came along for free?
