To Short Shift Or Not To Short Shift?, That Is The Question… Options

[Lucky9146]

I believe the spacer looking thing under my shifter base plate is a Weltmeister Short Shift adapter/ spacer. Anyone have experience with a Weltmeister?



I Googled “short shift 914” and came up with a chat on Pelican Parts from several years ago. This led me to look on the PP site to see what they currently offer and apparently the one for later 914’s is no longer available. My belief, based on a similar one they do offer for early 914’s for $77.00, is that it was not a particularly expensive piece compared to the Rennshift ones offered for $560.00 and maybe you get what you pay for.



Looking for any info from anyone on the Weltmeister if you have/had one OR short shift kits in general. I doubt if I will be tracking this car.

Trying to decide if I should leave it or remove it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Keep it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I didn't read your thread because I am lazy, but I saw the first pic. Flares, 3.0l engine etc.. even if you don't track, you may like the improved feel of shifting the car with the kit installed. Having gone from a tailshifter, to sider shifter, to side shifter with short shift kit, I prefer the last one listed best.
