So I've heard of some people changing over their 914 side-shift trans-axle's to cable shift but I've never seen a build thread about that. Does anyone know of one and or a vendor that sells a kit?

I did one. It was a pain in the ass to get everything working correctly. Not sure if I did a thread on it. It shifted slightly better but not good enough to do it again.

So I switched to a Boxster tranny (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I sense that's the direction I'll be moving.
I can only assume if it was a mod (cable shift for the 914 trans) that did wonders, their would be odles of folks doing it. That does not seem to be the case.
Do I recall there was an Audi 5-sp transaxle that was essentially the same as the Boxter 5 spd? Or was that a VW transaxle....?
