I know, I know. I shouldn’t be bragging but stick this in your pipe and smoke it.

So kidding aside-my goodness I hope you guys no I’m just kidding - This is obviously a tail shifter that’s been converted to a side shifter. Is it OK to leave the old mechanism in place or should I look to simplify that?

Thanks and happy Friday!

that was typical back then to avoid buying a different tail cover

It.s Your 914 up to you.
I have a few tranny ends if you ready to do the work.

First for me to see that set up.

It is leaking so it needs attention anyway, I imagine it would be the time to remove it and tidy that up?

Just swap out the rear cover?

Thanks (it seems that you are all our managing your jealousy quite well - ha)

We have 6 or 7 of those from a haul of 75 - 911 & 914 transmissions. One or 2 were 914-6 trans that were “converted”.

Jealous!? Hell no, it is do 914 thing to do at the time
I've convert a tail shift to side shift, under great guidance of Dr Evil..
if you do not have the correct tail end, don't matter

Looks like my car was. It is a 75 and has a side shift as is should but with the tail shift rear cover. On top of that someone tried to hack saw the tail linkage casting off but stopped halfway and just left it. I don't know how it didn't leak all over the place.

There's a side shift tail cover for sale in the classifieds for $25... just sayin'
