I just acquired a numbers matching stock 1971 914-6 from the original owner. Cosmeticly the car is very nice because he pampered the car so much. It runs extremely well. Sounds beautiful. I plan to take it to a Porsche expert in Atlanta to have it serviced in the next couple of weeks. The PO had driven the car very little during the last 16 years after having the car repainted and the engine gone thru.
My question is concerning the original 901 tailshifter transmission. As I have read, I would describe the shifting as vauge. First can be a little tricky at times, but I am getting the hang of it. I would welcome comments/feedback & suggestions concerning the transmission. Does geting all the shift bushings replaced and the transmission adjusted improve the shifting enough? I noticed the Patricks Motorsports has what appears to be a tail to side shifter kit. Does anyone have this and are you pleased with your decision? I would like to keep the car stock, but if there is a tail to side shifter kit that dramaticly improves the shifting.....then I would do it. Suggestions and ideas please. |
