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. |

A properly adjusted stock rig, with all the right angles and that's easy with a good transaxle on the other end, shifts like a dragster. I have had a couple tail shifters, with bad parts.... sorry for ya!
:brewstirring: Many times, the rod needs to be welded up, and ground, and the hardest part for us peeps to understand/translate/get the hang of, is the angles of the rod at rest vs the shifter position. Don't hold 1st against your knee, and set it. Put it in second, place the shifter at NEAR the top middle of throw, and set it, then check for the down gears, and REV.. The shifter base needs as much consideration, as your pref'rence does, don't be a dick! Give your shifter base a little slack, YO!!!! I am a shifter setup God. (big G... I am thee God of shifter setup. Downshift grind says bad synchro, 99%. If in more gears, dragging clutch.. or R-2-4/1-3-5 grinds are misadjusted shifters.. or outside pairs.. how is REV? I know about this! M |
