D914 was right.
This engine stock makes 230HP. I really didn't want anything with too much power. I'm building this for my wife to drive. The main thing she wanted was a car that shifted like a real car(Her words). Sitting in the car and shifting without the engine running,this thing shifts just like a new Subaru with the stock linkage.

Just finishing my 6cyl Subaru EG33 and transaxle conversion. The car is almost ready to go. Things to finish are the wiring (working on that today) and have a appiontment to have the exhaust done Saturday.

Hi Bob --

Congrats on your progress! I, too, am doing a Suby eng/trans into a 914; I am just now finalizing the engine mounting system. I like your trans mount and cable shifter setup.

I am interested in your axle solution. Did you weld up a segment of stock Suby axle shaft (inner portion) to a segment of the stock 914 axle shaft (outer portion), or did you make custom axle shafts that mate up the Suby inner CV with a 914 outer CV?

Believe it or not, Hyundai's have great shifters for adaptation (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Cheap too. I have a bunch as I was/am designing a cable shifter for the 901 based on these. I can take a pic and am willing to sell most of the ones I have for $20 + ship.

are you making a cable shift 901 kit?! if so, when?! I would do damn near anything for a more accurate shifter at this point.

I need to farm out the production so I can get it done and tested. I dont promise that it will ever materialize as I draw closer to the end of my freedom and the beginning of my residency.

Whoa! Hold on Doc, careful with what you say! Did you see those ears perk up everywhere across the land? You may be stumbling into a hornet's nest of pent-up demand that could create way more work than you really want to deal with.

For a stock 901 you can easily have it shifting awesomely. Rebuild the box, change all bushings, check engine and tranny mounts. You would be amazed how well a 901 can shift.

My experience has been that cable shift cars are much harder to rev match than cars using rods to actuate the shift mechanism.

At least with VW's and the few other things I have driven with cables.

Cables always seem vague and odd no matter how modified.

It's always a matter of "compared to what", isn't it? Every VW, Porsche or Japanese car with a cable shifter I've driven was goodness and light compared to my side shifter 914, but have you driven a 914/901 tail shifter? Those poor guys are more immediately worried about just getting the right gear than about matching RPM's. I'd even say that most would have an improvement to the modern standard of "vague and odd" pretty high on their wish lists.

The beauty with using a modern transmission with proper syncros (and the correct clutch/flywheel) is that rev matching is no longer needed - just put it in gear and it goes.

ahhh not so young grasshopper,,,,some of us track guys still need to match revs to gear for a smooth transfer going into a turn!! :::(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)) but I agree on the whole modern tranny issue.

I plan on doing a stock restore sometime in the future,,but not on this car!!

I was going to add the downshifting thing but didn't want to start a pissing match on the pros and cons of that issue.
