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) |

QUOTE(James Adams @ Aug 31 2003, 12:38 PM) How much further would you like to see the shaft machined for the MOMO knob? Anyone else have input on this? Those leather boots look nice! Brad, yours is the first comment I have had about the springs. i'd like to mount my MoMo knob deeper too. -- it's one of the spherical ones -- just an alloy ball with a collar. i'd like to go as deep as possible (the shaft should bottom on the ball inner surface). i'm not troubled by a step - but if you gave us maybe 3" of narrow and a taper to the big shaft that'd be perfect... i'd be glad for stronger springs both sides but especially the 4-5 side - i've downshifted from 4->5 (trying for 3) a couple of times. maybe i just got lazy but i must have learned this from the first couple days of using it - so i have to agree with the comments that said the spring weakened a little in initial use. i haven't hit R on the 1->2 shift so i don't think that side needs -too- much improvement. i get crunches but every indication is just tired synchros... as for a boot - i just use a standard automotive chamois - a tie-wrap inside at the top on the shaft, a bigger one around the base of the shifter. it's something i've done in all my cars for many years. |
