PITA Shifter Fab for Mid-engine VW 091
« on: August 12, 2011, 07:21:47 PM »
Sheesh! No wonder there's such a limited choice in shifters for a mid engine/rear VW 091 tranny !!! What a PAIN!!!!!!!
It ain't pretty but it works. eyes I had to fab one from scratch since the chassis prevented using anything available.  I swear,if this busa/091 adapter fully pans out as it seems it is ,I'm building a hydraulic shifter patterned after the one Fast had on his Mendi. Much simpler. This is BS at best running 2 fricken cables as has to be done to get a push/pull and a rotational action. Oh well,it will work fine for the use it will see. A few pics.

flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."

Sees to work fine just sitting here. Just sitting ALWAYS makes shiftjng more difficult but  cable routing, and need for push/pull as well as rotational motion needed, makes these things BS at best tho.
