keep reading comments about installing a short shift kit on my 914. get the idea its better then stock but wanted your thoughts. At AA and PP? tough to do? fire away...

It increases the velocity of the slider over the synchro band and shortens the life of the dog teeth because of the increased force of impact.

Don't do it, you will regret it eventually if not immediately.

Makes shifting much much worse. Unless you spring for the renshift.

thanks one less thing to havee to think about. Seriously, thanks guys.

spend the $$ on the Rennshift. You will wonder how you shifted without it.

be careful what you say around here. None of us will let you get away with a simple, easy, less work/less to think about answer.

Rennshift +4! and new bushings in the linkage = while

Another vote for new bushings and a rennshift! My car shifts GREAT.

And then you may be able to get your hands on one of Zach's knobs

I hear he polishes them by hand, none of that fancy schmancy CNC stuff.

No, they are made out of wood

I say Porsche designed great cars

Start with new bushings front to back, make sure it is all "correct"

Then decide if you still want anything.

Mine is stock and GREAT

I had a Weltmeister kit in a car before, it was OK I guess. The Rennshifter is like Magic it is goood.

I can hear Zach now, "I got Wood, hey check out my Knob"

I got wood. hey, check out my knob!

amazing how quickly an innocent thread can go downhill!

Well, at least with *this* thread we gave the PO the important information before we piled in the barrel and headed for the falls.

Keep it stock, or put in a Rennshift. its money, but it is money well spent.

Short shifters are good only if the rest of the components are in good shape. Otherwise the short throw hurries up the demise of the trans....
