When converting a '72 914 from tail to side shift tranny, are there any modifications required in the tunnel -- in particular increasing the size of the hole in the "cross brace" the rod passes through (looks like about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter) approximately 9 inches from the shifter?

I actually found that I DID have an interference inside the tunnel after converting.
I didnt think I did, but after another person on this forum posted that they were opening up the tunnel to expand the hole I decided to have a look. I used a large hole saw to cut an access hole and found that the shift rod would rub on the side on the hole that the rod goes through. I opened up the hole with a 90 degree grinding tool. My car has a rennshifter so I dont know if that makes a difference. Maybe the stock shifter doesnt have the interference. |
