It is probably the best part ever made for any Porsche (I think that is the one I had in my race car? Dave can remind me). Use one of Jim Patrick's firewall bushing, replace the factory U-Joint with an aircraft sealed U-Joint and tighten up the rear bushing and if the tranny's synchros are good shape you can shift into 1st at 25 MPH or more.

It is not cheap but worth it!

Thanks for the info. My major problem is downshifting into second and nicking second. I have the siene upgrade in my911 and love it. Hopefully this will be the answer for me.
Cheers. Rich

Meant to say nicking reverse.
