These days I'm driving Mike's 1970 teener since I broke my 73. With no radio I get to listen to the sweet sound of the 1.7L behind me and I get lots of time to think (probably a dangerous thing!).(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
So I got to thinking about transmissions and I remember someone commenting that there was a cable-shifter available from Patrick Motorsports, but that even though it is better than a stock side-shifter it still isn't as smooth as modern transmissions that were made to be cable-shifted. It being that Kennedy seems to make adapters to fit anything, is there a cable shifted transmission out there that would be a natural fit for a 914? (Of course you probably have to flip the ring gear.) Subarus come to mind as a possibility just because they have flat-4 engines, but I have no idea about anything else about the cars. |

If you delete the torque tube from a 944 engine/tranny would be short enough to fit in a 914?
cheers, Jeroen |
