I'd like to better understand what you're doing. Does this mean that the mid 
engine speedster now has some sort of cable actuated tranny, and you're 
hoping to convert it to a more solid rod control? I'd love to see some photos 
or sketches of what this looks like now and what you propose to change it to.

I'm trying to remember how the shift mechanism gets around the engine on a 
914, but my memory fails me here. Are you hoping to duplicate the 914 
system? IIRC, there were two different generations of 914 linkages, but they 
both used completely different nosecones from the standard VW. Is your 
tranny a VW? Or is it from a 914?

What are you hoping to improve, or are you just having a problem with the 
current setup
?
