Yes I know it sounds like a stupid question but my original -72 914/4 tail shifter trans needs a rebuild (to be done during next winter) and I have a complete operational -73 side shifter trans available.
Im not to unhappy with how the tail shifting works, have the bushings etc in good shape, do not do any racing etc so at the moment Im in for keeping the car as a tail shifter. Can I downgrade the side shifter to a tail shifter with the tail cone and other parts from the tail shifter or will I be missing some parts? Is there a good write up somewhere how to convert from tail to side shift? (I will try follow it in "reverse" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) /Lars S |
