Chris Foley's Tangerine Racing shift linkage kit Options

[Geezer914]

I just finished installing Chris Foley's shift linkage kit. The car shifts smooth as silk like a normal car with a 5 speed. It's like night and day! There is no question what gear you are shifting into, the shifts are solid and tight. I first replaced all the bushings using the stock shifter. It was like "what gear am I going to find now?" It would grind going into 1st and my arm was hurting from pushing the shifter as hard as I could to the right to find 4th and 5th, and when shifting into 5th, finding 3rd instead! So I installed a Renn shifter, a little better, but not much. Was not happy. So I sprung for Chris's linkage kit and firewall bearing kit. The car is a pleasure to drive. Thanks Chris for a super engineering job and a high quality kit. If you are not happy with the way your car is shifting, I would highly recommend installing this kit.

I have a Rennshift and one of Chris's kits in my car. I really like that combo.

It was touchy to get adjusted properly, but the car shifts way easier now. Night and day different.

Hi Zach,

I came across this thread just in time. I'm working on putting together some parts for my side shift conv. on my factory 914-6.
I have a new Rennshifter for my factory 914-6 and now looking at getting the rest of the side shift linkage. I'm looking at the Tangerine Racing shift rod kit which comes with the trans shift housing dual bushing mod and the precision shift adjuster.
Would you happen to have any pics of the trans shift housing mod done ?
Any issues installing/adjusting it ?
