I’m 6’ 4” tall, and shifting into R or first is literally under my right knee. A shorter lever (not a short-shift kit) might help. Anyone else have a solution for this?
Thanks |

I almost hated my 914 to begin with because I'm 6'2" and my legs felt jammed against the wheel and got banged on shifting into 1st. What solved it was two things: a slightly smaller wheel (nardi Miata special edition, cheap on ebay and masses of them around) but mainly a spacer (easy with a nardi boss, and there's room for a quick release thing too) so it sits a bit nearer your body, and higher and gives room for your legs. may be a bit difficult to reach the indicator stalk but it is way more comfortable...
... and oh the photo shows some little heco legato monitor speakers - they nestle in just right once the speaker covers are removed and the sound is not bad at all, and you can tie them in pretty easy... Attached thumbnail(s)
