Well I finally got around to installing the Rennshift in the JLO car. Holy crapole, thats great. It actually took a little getting used to, thinking you were in second and only in third, need to make a few final adjustments. Very easy installation, all top quality parts and instructions were very helpful even if they are ion a CD,
I am reinstalling the center console and have found the panel that goe's down over the shifter to be way to small, I need to open the circle it up to about 3.5 inches. Drove over to Jim Chambers and let him take it for a drive, he too was very impressed. I would have to say it was the best money spent recently on a new item for the 914 that I have found. I would like just a little more spring push on the 1-2 shift. Still fine tuning. CCLINRENNSHIFTERHEAVEN Attached image(s) |

OK, OK, I'm here!
Nice job on the console plate, Craig. How much further would you like to see the shaft machined for the MOMO knob? Anyone else have input on this? I hesitated to do more than needed because I think it looks cheezy to have a step in the shaft that shows when using the stock knob, but maybe I can compromise. Those leather boots look nice! The stock rubber '73 and later 911 shift boot looks good, is cheap, and works well, but it is about 4.5" diameter so it will not fit in a 914 center console. Brad, yours is the first comment I have had about the springs. They are lighter than ones in the factory shifter, and I have not had an issue myself, but I want it to be good for everybody. I have ordered a bunch of different springs, so I'll let you know what I come up. Lawrence, are you sure you are not just beating the syncro? You should be able to shift faster with 33% reduction, afterall. |
