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. |

It's good to hear those are adjustable.
We'll have to agree to disagree on the tailshifter. That's my opinion, and I know it's not the generally held view, but it's my view. By tomorrow afternoon, I'll be driving my first newly bushed sideshift car, so we'll see if I change my opinion. I don't find the tailshifter sloppy as long as the bushings aren't too old. I can row up and down through all the gears w/o missing a single shift, including a 5->2 downshift, all day long. This is after lots of practice, though. The first time I drove a 914 (with a side-shifter that was very sloppy from bad bushings), I had trouble finding ANY gear. Now, I don't even have to think about what I'm doing. So, it IS possible to have a good tailshifter, and I think they're unfairly maligned. I completely hear you on making what sells. I'm not the majority view. I think everyone should try a Rennshift. It's a great product. I personally had a lot of trouble with one particular unit, and if it's set up properly (or more properly for ME), I might like it quite a bit. I might still hate it. |
