Short shift kits
I have searched all over and only see kits available for up to model 1986 cars. Anyone know where I can find a short shift kit for either a 1988 Carrera or a 1994 Carrera 2? Thanks in advance for the replies.

They changed the transmission (transaxle) in 87 from a 915 to a G50. The biggest shifting and synchro complaints seemed to eminate from the 915 gearbox thus the popularity of the short shifter, with mixed results. Some feel the short shifter shortens more than the shift throw.
It is interesting to note that Porsche introduced it's short shifter to keep the shifting arm from hitting the side of the sport seat when shifted.I'm sure Warren can add significant history to this brief anecdote. Mrdi |

I read in the Performance Handbook that the Euro only 964 RS had a "gearshift was changed to a short shifter and moved to the left" (Bruce Anderson, page 33, first column, 2nd paragraph). Its this short shifter for the G50 tranny that I am looking for. Any ideas?

The brochure that came with my 1988 Targa lists short shift as a factory option. I don't know where to get one though. Let me know if you find one!
