Picked up our 914-6 GT Replica today after an engine rebuild ,can’t get the car into 1st or reverse with out crunching ,the rest of the gears are really really stif to get into the remaining gears,I bought the linkage set up that was recommended for the car at the same time ,does anyone else have a renn shifter on there 6 cylinder and does it run smooth or do you have problems ,please tell me there’s an easy fix,it’s so frustrating
Thanks Brian |

Brian, it'll be an easy fix. It just needs adjusting as the linkage has been disturbed during the engine refit.

Have fooled with it incrementaly and systematically for four hours and a fix to one area causes a new problem. I need an intervention before I send it sailing into the woods. |

I need an intervention before I send it sailing into the woods. It took me 5 minutes to set mine. Make sure there isn’t anything rubbing or binding in the tunnel (or anywhere else) and all the clamps and set screws are tight. I set both the shifter and trans into 2nd gear and tightened the bolt. Mine was a little difficult to get into gear, I adjusted some slack out of the clutch cable and then it moved easily. A rennshifter just duplicates the stock shifter but has no slop at the shifter. It really can’t make the shifting worse. Every thread I’ve read that mentions an issue with a rennshifter turns out to be something else. Loose cone screw, interference in the tunnel, ect. |

It probably IS something else since shifting has never been effortless. Will have to go through the whole system. Thanks |
