Picked up my 914/6 converted race car last night and got to give the new shift setup a test. We used a home made 4130 rear shift bar, new bushings, Steve Stomski's shift coupler and a RennShift shifter up front. There is no free play anywhere and the shifts are fantastic. It is a good investment if you are a vintage racer or even a serious auto-x'er as you don't have to worry about what is happening with the tranny!!

John; where do you get the Steve Stomski shift coupler? I agree, the Rennshift is a big improvement in shift confidence.

Steve Stomski is in the Maryland area. He has a web site: http://www.stomskiracing.com/. The coupler has one end splined to fit inside the rear tube and the other end has a set screw and collar to fit over the front shift rod. Serves the same function as the stock flex joint.

There is no free play anywhere and the shifts are fantastic. the is exactly the setup i have in the 911 and i love it. donno what you have for mounts -- stiff stuff, probably. the only flex left in my car are the OEM transmission mounts (in surprisingly good shape, actually...) and the engine mounts. now that i know the secret to using Club Sport transmission mounts in a pre-'73 car i'll be adding those, along with the solid engine mounts -- just to gild the lily. there is now no reason for people to complain about vague, sloppy shifting in our cars -- we have the tools, we have the technology ! |

Just about the time I have my Christmas shopping list complete, someone develops something new and better that I gotta have. I need a second job.

I need a second job. is the new 'Excellence Was Expected' on your list ? i saw some preview pages at the Robert Bentley booth at WaterFest and the NE Audi Aftermarket shows and it looks amazing. probably cheaper than the first edition (which i have) adjusted for inflation. still set you back a chunk o' change tho ... |

I agree 100%. I have a very -expensive- new trans in my car and with the new, perfectly adjusted Rennshifter I don't have to "think" about shifting like I did before. It has become reflex again, like it should be. Since I put it in, I have not even come close to a bogarted shift...
