I am looking for your opinions, buy a renn shift or keep the stock shifter. Will the rennshift help the ol stick in the mud affect? Also, I do have the factory center console. Any mods needed? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

For a tailshift car, I bet a good inexpensive upgrade would be to get a 915 shifter, put wevo springs in it and be good. If you wanted to go farther you could extend the shifter with a slug and longer tube.

Nothing shifts better than a side shift 914 trans with a Rennshift. |

If so, what I said might be good Yes, you are correct, but the issue with a tail shift, is the tail shift. That’s why Porsche moved away from it and switched to a side shift. I have owned and tried all these combinations. Wevo and 915 shifter would be a huge waste of money with a 914 tail shifter. Most people convert to a side shifter and if they have the extra money buy a rennshift. |
