I am looking a converting my transmission to a side shift. Here is what I think I need.
Side shift transmission Side shift shift rod (rear) as in the picture. Side shift engine mount bar. Do I need anything else? Will my shifter and forward rod assembly work with the side shift? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Tx Attached image(s)

i've driven many 914's, side and tail shifters. Honestly the tail shift is just fine as long as the bushings on the shift rod are good (fire wall, in tunnel, and at tail) If the tail shifter set up is tuned up right with new bushings, they work great, My current car has tail shift, (with new bushings) and I have not been convinced to do the conversion, despite having most of the parts on hand, and despite experiencing the "wonders" of a side shift car.
I drive aggressive at times, yet do not miss shifts with the tail shifter. So no it is not worth that kind of money, even half that money to do the conversion, just make sure your bushings are tight. Save your money for an engine upgrade, interior, exterior spuce up, or gasoline. good luck dave |
