I’ve decided to pull the plug and upgrade to a Rennshift Shifter for my 901 side shift transmission, even though not a cheap upgrade. They show a stick length option of stock or 2” longer and Aluminum or Anodized Black. Suggestions on the stick length? I know the finish is just personal preference. Thanks

I love my Rennshifter. Worth it. Make sure trans is up to snuff, though. If not, the Rennshifter can help you find and exacerbate problems (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

The trans and all bushings need to be good, also the tangerine console double bushing makes for a real nice shifting package.
Just be aware you'll never have the speed shifting of some cars, even with the Rennshift you cant slap it into the gears hard, you have to have a gentle touch and glide it through the gears. Don't force it, more like you let it find it's own path, forcing it you can still grind the gears.
Set it up so it's naturally in plain for 2nd-3rd, then it should be just a slight side pressure for 4-5th or 1st. I never downshift to 1st with the auto reverse lockout you should have to jiggle it side to side in neutral before it will go in. It took me a bit of adjusting to find it's sweet spot, I now have it on the short shift adjustment.

If you're tall you will want the extra bend to move it slightly back towards you.
