Can anyone help me identify the short shifter that was installed in my '73 by a PO? I am in search of a new stick and the rennshift ones clearly won't work. I couldn't see any manufacturing marks (maybe if I take it apart?)...Thanks!

Sorry, can help identify who made the shifter, but you can get nice new seat adjuster handles from 914rubber.com shades.gif

Not a Rennshift.

Zach, Pretty sure that is an early rennshift, not the current model but one of the first generation one's..

It's an early rennshift. What's the rest of the car look like?

Anyone know if sticks/handles are still made for the early rennshift, or possible where to buy an alternative aftermarket that'll fit the bolt pattern and have an angle back??

RobW, I hope this car looks familiar to you??? happy11.gif drunk.gif

No worries, and yup, already have a pair of the handles from 914rubber, ordered them last week just haven't put them in. I'm sure i'll have a few more orders from him for this car in the future, haha

That looks a lot different than my Rennshifter. I bet you can source a new handle directly from JWest who makes the Rennshifter.

Genius!! I didn't even think about that. I'll give them an email and see what they can do, otherwise I might just have to fab something up...

Wow! Missed this thread earlier this year.....

Old grey looks great! I can tell you all about the car - the good the bad and otherwise.

Here it was when I had her:

The shifter is an early early Rennshift.
