    Rennshift II

    It's not too often I buy a product I'm truly impressed with, but the latest version Rennshift shifter came today and it is outstanding. It's so well engineered and fabricated that I gave thought to just leaving it on my desk as a work of art! I did a test install and it functions as well as it looks. Love the manual reverse lock-out too - no more nicked gears with my 901!!

    Right from the manufacturer:

    http://www.jwesteng.com/rennshift/rennshift_temp.htm

    They are just going into production now and you need to call them. They don't have a "buy it" button on the website yet and they don't take preorders. They just happened to be finishing up a few of them the day I called and shipped it that day. Photos don't do this thing justice.

    I put one in my 915 equipted 911 RS replica. Perfect. The shift action is so much better. Highly recommended.
    It is adjustable for shift reduction, too.

    Curt, If that is an original 901 shifter, you might want to hold on to it. I understand that they are getting hard to find.

    Did Tom say you are coming down to Road Atlanta in a couple of weeks?

    Hal - Porsche's not going to be at Atlanta afterall due to reliability problems with the new car so, I guess I've lost interest in that one.

    Brian - check your PM.

    Just back from a test run with the shifter. Wow! For the 1st time in any 911 I've driven, I feel like I've actually got a 'real' gearbox. This thing is awesome. Downshifts into 1st gear at a 20MPH roll? 1st to 2nd gear with the 901? No grinding, no forcing, no problem. Feels like a brand new gearbox.
