I took aaron's 914 for a spin around the block today with his rennshifter and wow, what a difference. I know the reviews have been good for this thing, but the improvement is BEYOND good. James should be given a 914er of the year award for this thing. Its a totally different car.
I just thought I'd share my 2 cents for anyone thats not sure about its hefty price tag. This morning I would have NEVER considered a 500 dollar shifter, but now its really got me thinking... of course I cant afford it, but Im still thinking. |

My installation required more than a few minute adjustments. Reasons being, I had no benchmark, as the shift rod had to be straightened. The kink was hitting the headers and making the 3/4 shift very problematic. I also replaced the worn bushings at the firewall, shiftknuckle, sideshifter housing and the coupler.
Once the rod and bushings were installed correctly, I still had two, three adjustments that needed to be made at the pinch bolt in the tunnel. Once done the shifting was very smooth. I chose the 20% reduced throw and the 901 shifts as well or better than my WEVO equipped 915 in my 911. |
