something you wouldn't know anything about ...

it's called "personal preference"!

PS: why build a turbo T4 for your 912? what's wrong with the best solution out there ... a porsche 3.6L six?

Andy,

call Renegade Hybrids and see if they still sell a solution. I doubt seriously you are going to find anyone outside of Renegade selling a cable solution.

Patrick Motorsports and Renegade sell the same setup from Cunningham.

You can fab your own, but I wouldnt do it with a fresh box.

Here's a picture of a cable shifter, though I think that transmission says 930, but I don't know.

Anyway, this was on a silver 914 that showed up at one of Joe Sharp's BBQs. It was the one with the raked windshield, nascar V8 engine, etc.

Does that tell you anything Andy? LOL

I only know of .. well.. nobody running a cable setup on their 915.

I'm willing to bet all the racers with 915's have gone to WEVO.

The above picture is a 930 box.

I seriously cannot think of anyone in the USA running the cable shift setup on a 915.

We had one guy from Germany post asking questions about his cable shifted 915, but I didnt see any decent pics from him.

Obviously I dont know everyone, but I have a good grasp on most of the people running a 915 in their 914.

Andy,

I'm too poor to get the Wevo setup right now, and my current mechanical linkage isn't very good (Rod Simpson).

I am seriously considering creating a cable-shift solution for my car in the near future. I spoke with Scott at Renegades lately and I think he said his cable setup was ~$800.
Bolstered by seeing the recent cable projects (901 & 930) by others here on the club I believe that I can make something for less than that.
If you'd like to brainstorm and work jointly on a solution I'm willing to give it a shot.

Bondo did such an impressive job on his!
If I recall he said there wasn't much chance of him having the time to work on such a setup for the 915. (Bill P. and I both asked)

I've been meaning to wander down the street to pick n' pull and have a look around for a suitable shifter to start with. It sounds like the McMaster-Carr cables are reasonably priced and the rest could be fabbed without too much trouble I think.
I've got a friend with Solid Works and access to a machine shop so I was thinking of hitting him up to help in designing/building the parts for the attachment to the trans.
