Spurred on by a similar question from a guy on the 914 Yahoo list, here's a question for tall people on this list: Do you have any issues with the 914 and if yes, any solutions?

I'm 6' 5.5" and find headroom is no problem at all. My annoyance is mostly with the shifter, I have to push it right into my leg for 1st/reverse.

A poster on the 914 list suggested a Weltmeister short shifter. I was thinking even a used shifter, heated and carefully bent towards the right, could improve that situation. Maybe someone else has come up against this and did something about it?
