rare fully automatic 914, the factory only produced zero of them! (LOL) Options

a mechanic just sent me pictures of this 914 and did not even know that it was an automatic!!!!!

My dad would love that solution for him. He had polio as a kid hard for him to push in the clutch.

I'm certainly sympathetic to those that can't physically operate a clutch but there are plenty of alternatives out there w/o cutting up a 914.

I have a Father In Law that is about 6' 4" and has a good sized beer belly. Funniest thing I might have ever seen was seeing him try to drive my Miata. Not all people are meant for all cars. He fits perfectly fine in a full size truck, SUV, or full size sedan. No sense tearing up a Miata to make it fit him.

My dad sold his 64 356sc for a boxster with a tip.. He has a 914 project he really hasn't worked with much this year. He is hopeful he can drive it when its road worthy.

Personally, I'd entertain the addition of a hydraulic clutch to ease clutch pedal forces. Would certinaly be some custom fabrication but in my opinon (which doesn't matter) it is truer to the DNA of the 914 than adding an auto.

Likewise, there are some interesing small gear multiplication devices to decrease motorcycle clutch cable forces for the elderly - might be able to modify one of those to but would have to account for higher axial loads on 914 clutch vs. motorcycle clutch. Maybe engineer up a similar device but upsized.
