Shifter Extension Availability
 

I just took delivery of my first air-cooled Porsche. Mail order, no test drive. 1984 911 Cabrio M491 euro. I'm 6' tall. The first thing I notice is that I can't reach the shifter without bending over and taking my eyes off everything else. I've seen discussion of shifter extensions on this forum before. Where can I buy one. I think I need 3-5 inches.

the jwest rennshift kit has a extended shifter option

You are going to have to figure this out yourself - there are no retail solutions that I was able to find. I am 6'3" and put a 2" extension on with parts from Mcmaster Carr. Search John Walker shift extension and there are some options.

I wonder if you have some sort of aftermarket lever in the car? I'm 6'2" and never had an issue with the original shifter.

I got the extension pictured above from JimmyT, its everything you could ask for and then some. The length is perfect for me, I'm 6' 2" tall

Highly recommend it.

I'm 6'1" and wear an 18x37 shirt. I feel that another inch or two back would help. I have to lean slightly forward to shove the shifter all the way into 5th.

I ordered one of these from JimmyT about a month ago. Totally makes rowing through the gears allot easier if you're a six footer. The kit is very high quality and smartly engineered. JimmyT is a super nice person and the fact that he only charges $34.42 for this part is mind blowing! To anybody on the fence about buying one, it's a no brainer choice.

I have an extended shifter for sale.....posted on Pelican.
This was leftover from an 86 Carrera backdate project.

The wevo billet "stock" shift knobs extends the shifter the perfect amount in my opinion
