Title: PITA Shifter Fab for Mid-engine VW 091
Post by: fabr 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.

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.
