Never heard of anyone using them, I'd also look into Wevo shifters.

A number of us here have them. I feel its the best $150 I've spent on my car. While the Wevo system is arguably superior, the Seine kit certainly gates the shifter well and greatly adds to shifting confidence.

I use one and like it. It took about 2.5 hours to install, meticulously following instructions, including the blue-printing of the shifter.

It works well and is good, cheap insurance against missed shifts.

I've had mine installed for 2 years and love it. I also replaced all of the shifter bushings and put in a Stomski shift coupler at the same time. All of these mods make for a very nice shifting 915.

Chris Streit - all around good guy - frequent poster on this site. His short video and bent valves.

Another goody to put on the list it looks like!

I have one with factory short shift and also new bushings. Works great.

Probably the "best improvement for money" of all modifications I made to my car. Bought it for $110 right after it was introduced some years back and it has worked without trouble since. Especially on the track this is a great improvement - never missed a shift since.

Seems like an oversight that the factory did not include this feature in the stock shifters?
I have used the SS shifter for the 3 years of AX/DE/TT and W2W racing. Worked perfect everytime.
I'll have one on my daily driver 911 soon too.:D

I recently bought the new version of the Rennshift shifter for my '71

cegerer 09-15-2005 04:54 PM

That's my new carpet Jim - never enough red I say.

I have the Seine in my car. I've been pretty happy, but I'd install a stiffer spring as the factory 915 5/R return spring is stiffer than the Seine 1/2 one. I intend to take apart and replace the spring this winter. Installation is fairly easy, but it takes some doing.

I have part of a Seine. I have a 901 and I didn't want the spring over on the 4th-5th side to start with, which is where it would be on my shift pattern. The problem is that I might pull the lever into 3rd instead of 5th on an up-shift with that pressure on the lever. I wanted an "open" H pattern for my rack gears 2, 3, 4, and 5.

so, I cut the housing at the base and rotated it 180* and welded it back on. This also provided me with a reverse lockout where it needs to be on the 901 pattern. The internal factory springs are enough to flip the lever out of the 1st-rev plane.

I haven't used it yet, but I think I'm gonna like it a lot.

I haven't tacked on the guide for the gates on the other side yet. I'll have to wait until it's installed to dial that in as per the instuctions from SS.

Bobboloo 09-15-2005 06:34 PM

Curt,

Be sure and report back about the Rennshift. I curious to hear what you think about it. I'm still on the fence between the Renn and the Wevo.

ted 09-15-2005 08:19 PM

For $150 the SS system is the best price going.
Isn't there another company selling the same product for $100+ more?
For 4 x the price you can get a race proven Wevo shifter...
Wevo made me an extended lever shrort throw version.
That's a great choice too.
The Rennshift unit is has a pretty lever though I'm not familiar with it.:)
I like the 3/4 centering feature on all of these shifters. When you are cornering on the edge it's calming to know as you shift out of 2nd you let the spring do its job as it centers the lever into the 3/4 gate and you gently push the lever forward into 3rd. The chance of hitting 1st and bending valves is slim to none.:)

Well, since everyone is showing off there shifters...here is mine. I recently powdercoated the fan housing, gold zinc plated all the hardware, and installed the WEVO Shifter. I have one of the new race knobs on order.
