I'm interested in cable shift kits, which the way i figure it don't have to be Porsche specific. I'm thinking about fabricating the parts necessary to make a tailshift tranmission run with a race-style cable shifter.
The problem is all i can find are shifters for automatics. I'm guessing web research isn't going to cut it. Things this specific are often hard to find. With that said, I was going to do this for just the standard 901, but perhaps such solutions don't exist unless you're running a 915? |

Tim,
For several years I have been trying to figure out what to do with ALL these tailshift tranny's sitting around collectiong dust. I thought about why we yanked them out and how most of them have low mileage. Cable shift. So... a friend of mine (Eric Tischer) fabbed one up for his tail shifter... it worked great. I dont have enough time to "make" everything that I have on my little pea brain but this one shows some promise. The shifting problem with the tail shifters is not inside the tranny. Its a linkage problem to the tranny. So.. do away with the linkage and you have a very nice shifting box (better than a side shifter in my eyes) The internal shift rail on the tailshifter is better supported than the sideshifter. B |
