Hello to the club.
Well it has to come, my 914-6 is nearly finished. I made a 500 miles testdrive the last 4 days. It is a original 6 with a 3.0 engine with carbs, 915 gearbox, stronger body, modified engine mount... And with a cable shifter system. I have posted that in a previous topic. It is the same offered from Patrick Motorsport - I guess the company producing them is Cunningham?
Well I got some problems to adjust the system. It is a bit windy and the shift pattern has already changed again. Right now I can't shift the 2nd gear and after maybe 20min of driving in 5th gear the system is nearly baked together. Sometimes you can't push the shift lever to to other gears. I will readjust it but I doubt that I will be rally satisfied.
It is lubed of course. Also I do not like that the lever is not spring loaded at all. And there is no extra locking if you move from 5th gear to 4th gear. It can happen (and it happend) that instead of the 4th gear you trry to shift in the reverse. Autsch Poor gearbox - this one is really great. Close gear ration, 40 % LSD just perfect.
So I know it is big money but I'm thinking to buy the Wevo sideshifter system but there are a lot of questions left.
- Who has expereience ith this system - what do I need furthermore for my car?
- Where to buy?
- Can I use the mechanical tachometer drive?
- What would be the best shifter? I've seen that Wevo is producing one, Seinesystem, Rennshift of course and...
Here are some pics and I also made some short videos - nothing spectacular but pump up the volume
And here some videos.
