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. |

I did everything you could do to a tailshift 6 to make it shift well, and it did. Then, during one of my tech sessions, someone let me drive their really well set up side shift with a strong 2.0l engine. I was very very impressed and did a sideshift conversion to my 6 tranny at the first chance. The 6 tranny has 2 less linkage points than the tailshift 4. The there are internal differences as well. The rake assembly is far more precise internally than the single finger in the tailshift units. The sideshifter is also far easier to adjust the shift linkage, since you don't have to loosen an almost impossible collar behind the driver's seat. |
