Re: Cleaning up the shifting
The guy said that the shift bushings were done already. But wouldn't
that make some of the definition come back? It was pretty bad. A
short shift kit sounds like a good idea, but only after I get the rest
of it in better shape.
I really like the idea of aftermarket seats. The front passenger seat
is broken anyways, so it will need replacing. And a good race seat
should be more comfy, handle a harness better, and as a bonus, looks
cool!
On the other hand, I just got word of a 944 for sale with 166k for
about the same price. hmmmm........

You have lots of options when it comes to shifting. You can (and
should) at least change all the bushings out, this will make shifts
smother to begin with. If you are mechanically inclined, you can
make your shorten the throw yourself by cutting the shifter down and
attaching a shift knob with a set screw (a lot of people do this), and
you can also shorten the L-shaped arm on the transmission, which is a
little harder. Or you can get an aftermarket short shift kit,
shift weight, or tougher linkage (TSR, which Ron is getting a
group buy together on).</P>
<P>Is this an 88 16v? I like the seats that are already in it,
I'm just going to get mine repaired. The stock recaros have great
bolsters, mine just need to be refurbished a little. Much cheaper
than getting brand new seats.<BR><BR>HTH<BR>Joe</P>
