Is there any reason I shouldn't consider working up a cable shifter instead of the traditional 916 shift linkage. The current 916 kit is $3-3250. Add in labor for machining and assembly and you're at $5k just to make the trans shift correctly. The suby guys are doing the shifting with $300 worth of cables and hardware. Am I missing something here?

Curious what the 915 guys are running for a shifter. I'm running a renshift, but I still nick reverse when shifting from 5th to 4th. I have spent way to many hours adjusting it, so I know it's as good as it gets. If I shift from 5th, let it settle in the center plane on its own, then I can shift into 4th without hitting reverse. I heard wevo is the best. I will try that next.

My set up: Rennshift with Tangerine Racing shift linkage kit to Vellios side shift conversion. Chris Foley made me an intermediate adjustment piece that allowed for minor length adjustment between the rod in the center tunnel to the Tangerine shift rod outside the firewall. Plus we had to make a small spacer to adapt the linkage parts to the Vellios console. |
