we'll see soon enough - but does the mr2 shifter (1991-1995 model) you are using looks like this one?

Thats what I got sitting on my shelf. They are pretty cheap still, cable connectors set to go in the proper direction, though I'm doubting I'll be using the base. Maybe as a sacrificial lamb. I like these because its easy to change the shift trough ratios. You just move the attachment point on the shifter. Grind, move, tack, test, weld, done.

Definitely, just a matter when. Looks like I finally landed a job (inside sales) that will be paying the bills but taking up more of my time.

fabbing for the 914 is still a passion tho, so I'm sure it'll be sometime this year.

That is the style that I'm using, though it looks like there should be some cutting or yet another design project, as the cables don't like the OEM shifter housing...

Ian - do you have a close up of the linkage you are using to connect the bell crank to the gear selector? Are you using little ball joints?

They are small ball joints, one of things i will be changing for the production model, just needed something to get me by for the prototype that also gives acurate dimensions.

That make a ton of sense. I love the way you're going with it, can't wait to see the final version!

Ian,
I used the MR2 shifter on my car with the 901 trany. I recall debating if I wanted the 914 shift pattern or first gear forward. I ended up putting 1st forward, as I felt it is a more normal pattern. The down side of this is both of my cars are different (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
I was just curious if you kept the 914 shift pattern with 1st gear back, reverse forward?

Looks like it shifts really smooth. Nice work!

Glad you found a job as well. Started in sales a LOOONG time ago myself. I'm sure you'll do great.

Mike, I went with the subaru OEM pattern, 1st forward. Figured keeping it that way would be better just for non 914 applications.

So I've watched this a few times, and sent you a thought or two.

I'm SURE you're ahead of us on this, but in care you aren't...thought I'd throw a few ideas at you.

What size cables are you using, Ian? These are 1/4" on the MR2 shifter. Did you go 5/16"?

Nope I went 1/4, strange that it looks like yours fit into the mr2 nicely...
