Hummm, looks really good. I still love my original one, but I'd test one of these at the road race in Tecate MX in 3 weeks??!!

I've had a lot of begging for the old versions - which I have no more of - so there should be a good market to unload the old ones (classifieds). The issue is that there is a wait to get the new ones right now (I need about 5 more of myself so I can work faster). The price for the new one is $470 - there are no options except tail vs. side shift. You get both auto and manual reverse lockouts and they all have the same finish (knob not included but available for $32). The price is about the same as the old shifter with reverse lockout and polished stick added in. |

I worked very hard to keep the diameter of the housing as small as 3" in order to fit the stock console side (still needs the trim plate hole enlarged). I simply can't get it any smaller with the desired features. One way to get a subtle look is to use the '73 and later 911 shift boot - not 914 original but "Porsche looking" (and cheap). Also, the stock knob can be used. |

Will a stock knob fit on these?
Will these work with the 915 as well as the 901 in a 914? Can I get on the list? |

The stock knob does fit. The shifter also works with the 915. The reverse feature can be positioned in the left-front or right-rear quandrant to match either 901 or 915 shift pattern. |

Niiiice, I have to try out Justin's orriginal version. I kept missing the 4th to 3rd downshift at my last track day...totally got on my nerves! I have a feeling I'll be adding my name to the waiting list.
