Is your car a street car or a race car?
The RennShift is a very good product (see the details in our resource section) Here is something similar to what you asked about in a 914. I'm not sure what brand it is. Attached image(s)

I like the idea of it being closer to the driver....way too "mechanical" looking for a street car, or at least for me, I like more subtle items in my interior (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

On the fabcar shifter mentioned previously, where does the shift rod go? Do you have to cut another hole in the tunnel? What happens back in the engine area?

They are fashioned after the 935 shifter |

What exactly is the advantage of any of these shifters?
Is it the weight savings you get by emptying out your wallet? Maybe I have never had to shift a 914 (or any Porsche) with worn out bushings. I've never had a bit of problems with the factory shifters as long as the cone screws stay in. QUOTE Smart Racing Products sells the Fab Car shifter I thinks its 1200.00 for the 901- 914 They are fashioned after the 935 shifter $1200???? I know of many better uses for that money than spending it on a shifter. |

Tim, why did you get rid of the fabcar shifter? Not happy about it, or what?
(just curious) |

The fabcar shifter seemed to transmit, and amplify every noise and vibration in the car. I really didnt like it..
