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.

I have had a rennshifter on my car for about 12 years or so. THOMAS then overhauled my transmission and I have all the tangerine goodies installed and it shifts "like buttah". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) This is really the only way to go. With as many 914's I have moded the shift linkage on I have found that there is so much you can do, but going cheap is NOT a good idea. The Rennshifter is the starting point. |
