The RennShift performance shifter is a replacement shifter for 914, 914/6, and 911.

Adjustable centering springs hold shifter in center plane. This gives a “gated” feel to the shift pattern and helps prevent missed shifts.

Available in choice of shift throw reduction of 0%, 20%, and 33% to fit personal style and preference.

The price $395.95 plus shippping.

An optional "pawl" reverse lockout and polished stick and/or base are extra cost features.

Go here for more info and pictures: www.jwesteng.com

I am located in Fort Worth, TX.

Again, the quality is amazing. Haven't used it yet, but I have used the stock shitter (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

This guy had a charity auction for me, AND gave me the shifter (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Hurry, and get on the waiting list (if you haven't already)

Today, I spent a little bit of time installing the sexy Rennshifter in the 914/6.

While the price of admission is WELL WORTH the price. I got a 33% throw reduction. The improvment is incredible. This is a stock 914/6 tailshifter, with all new bushings and the shift fingers on the end of the shift rod were in excellent shape. The feel is what the shifting always SHOULD have been.

Installation for the Renshift was not at all difficult.
The results are absolutly fan-f*cking-tastic.
Thanks James. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Sliced bread had a good long run.
My new benchmark will be "the greatest thing since RennShift".

Today was my first chance to try it on the race track.
I had high expectation - and they were exceeded.
What a great product that preforms exceptionally well.
I repeat - Thanks James! I LOVE IT !!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
My shifting confidence level is 100%.
It's fast, it's smooth, it's everything you could dream of.

The RennShift replaces the shifter that is inside the car, sans knob and shift linkage. The factory or aftermarket knob can be used and the RennShift bolts right up to the factory linkage.

The RennShift is not a "short shift kit." It is a complete shifter and is the only replacement Porsche shifter that includes a new, upgraded shifter housing.

Also included is new mounting hardware, shift boot, and an additional set of bias springs for set-up to user preference.

I prefer the 30% reduction. I know others who have less and are happy, too.

That is a VERY good idea. All the bushings need to be in good shape to get the best shifting performance - with or without the RennShift.

Hey James,

I must agree. The shifter is smooth as silk and the centering springs are awesome. Hey why don't you add a link to the Mr. Gasket/Hurst accessories web page so your customers have an option on the shift stick configuration? I relocated my shifter 3" back and added a straight/shortened shift stick.

James, if your car is equiped with a console, what is the dimension of the hole that the shifter body fit through ? Also once installed is it centered where the stock chifter would protroude (just larger) or is offset in one direction or the other?

Centered on the hole.

The polished portion of the housing is 3" diameter. Removing the top collar of the shifter (4 bolts) will allow the console plate (once opened to 3") to fit tight to the polished part of the housing.
