Finally back to it after the Holidays...
Well, the Patrick Motorsports cable shifter that I've been waiting for finally showed up at my door. THIS THING IS COOL!!! Those of you who have seen theese things know what I mean. Top notch parts. It fits perfectly and, to be honest, I was a bit surprised at how crisp the shifts are. Here are a few pics. The cables are not routed through the bulkhead yet, but it'll only take an hour or so to cut the holes and make the support bits. Attached image(s)

I had originally planned on using a modified Fabcar shifter and built the mount for that into the tub. Rather than start over, I fabbed the new mount to fit what was already there. It puts the shifter up near the wheel where I like it. Gives a nice "fomula car" feel...

Here's a pic of the shifter itself. Direct cable for fore and aft, bellcrank arrangement for side-to-side. Nide and smooth too!

At the rear, it's all just a bolt-on. Bracket attaches to the trans "nose cone" studs and around the shaft with a "U" bolt. Perfect fit!

Some people have grumbled and complained about Patrick's prices, but his hardware is about the best around for what it does.

Why is the tach at 8000 rpm? New break in techniques? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolling.gif)

I agree John, when you see his stuff up close, you realize his prices are VERY fair. When you compare the price of this entire system at around 700 bucks to the Fabcar shifter at around 900, it almost looks cheap! Okay, not really cheap, but a great price for what you get.

It makes it much more realistic when you sit in the car and make engine noises! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) "braaAAHHHH-um, BRAAAHHH-um, WAAAAAMMMBubububah....." |

Its a Porsche G-50/52 configured to run inverted. The trans and engine are from a '91 turbo.

Mike, excellent progress...keep the pics coming ! Patrick's stuff is worth every dime--well engineered things you would'nt pay yourself to figure out.
BTW , B&M products (OE supplier to Porsche) also makes cable shifters, short shifters for the aftermarket. The unit you are using may be an adaptation of a B & M. Keep up the good work (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Marty |

Hey Aaron,
Okay, here's an attempt at a diagram of the bellcrank thing. The yellow part is the shaft that rocks side-to-side with the shift lever. Note the little arm forward of the stick. The linkage (green) connects the yellow arm to the bellcrank (blue) which moves the cable (white). The red lines are the axes upon which the various bits rotate. Hope this makes a little sense, anyway... Attached image(s)
