Alternate shifters, Cable shifter Options

[Steve1956]

Good morning everyone,anyone using a Boxster cable shifter or other similar?
My engine swap won't allow the use of stock shift linkage.
Thx,,,

The mechanism I built is for a subaru transmission (which has the shift rod at the rear of the tranny). It looks very similar to the one sold by Zero Decibel Motorsports (only theirs is prettier).

There's a couple of folks on here who have made cable mechanisms for the side shift and tail shift 914 transmissions. Here's one thread on the topic:

By the way, I have two brand-new 6-foot long push-pull cables that I will sell to you for half of what they cost new. They were too short for my subaru transmission, but they might be just right for the side-shift location on the 914 tranny.

Hope this helps!

I am assuming the cables are for Subaru shifter? I don't care about pretty,just functionality. What year, model suby? Good info! Thx.

The transmission I’m using is a 5-speed manual from a 1999 Subaru legacy but plenty of other Suby transmissions will work. They just have to be converted to 2WD. The whole shifter set-up is completely custom. The hand shift lever mechanism is from an early 2000’s Porsche Boxster. The cables were purchased from Midwest Control Products https://midwestcontrol.com/shop/40-084-BH-BH-3-MSF-4-QD250. The linkage at the tranny end was designed and built by me and all of the hardware/joints/etc. was sourced from McMaster Carr https://www.mcmaster.com/. Here are a couple of pictures of my set-up. Disclaimer… none of my setup has been tested. I think it should work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
