Finally invested in a Renn shifter, and hopefully will put to bed all those shifting woes once and for all!!
Not that my mechanic doesn't know what he is doing, but are there any off the wall issues that might be good to know before we start the project?? I have all new bushings otherwise. |

Wow, this is an older thread on a topic that caught my attention. I have the Renn Shifter installed in my car but we do not believe it was adjusted correctly when installed. The issue is sometimes the shifter just refuses to find 1st gear and if I am not careful on the 1-2 shift I can nick reverse. Other than that is shifts easily. Operator error? Maybe. But I have owned 3 6's and never had an i issue shifting. However this is my first Renn Shifter.
I emailed J West Engineering and heard back from them within hours. I asked for a referral for a local shop familiar with their shifter and they provided one about 20 miles from me. J West was very helpful and told me to call if I had any issues. I called the shop and made an appointment to get them to look at the shifter to see if it is adjusted correctly or not. The shop owner said he has owned 2 914's and installs the RennShifter in a lot of cars and just got 2 more delivered for 911's scheduled to be in his shop that week. My car goes in on October 5th. I will post about my experience and the end result. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
