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? |

QUOTE(seanery @ Apr 5 2003, 07:16 AM) Call me a MORON, but I don't get how a cable shifter works. Does one cable control left to right action and the other fore and aft? Any help would be good. Thanks Don't worry, you can call me a MORON too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) , when it comes to cable shifting. How does a flimsy cable "push" like the shift rod, like when you go for R, 2nd or 4th gear. When you pull toward you (1st, 3rd, and 5th) i could see how that works. do they use large springs to recenter the shifter and stuff.... a little help for the dunce here please. E. Tischer's setup looks cool, any production plans yet? and cost..... hey why do i care about tailshifting anyway? i got me a sideswinger! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
