Is there any reason I shouldn't consider working up a cable shifter instead of the traditional 916 shift linkage. The current 916 kit is $3-3250. Add in labor for machining and assembly and you're at $5k just to make the trans shift correctly. The suby guys are doing the shifting with $300 worth of cables and hardware. Am I missing something here?
