 |
|
i am curious to know if the 924 shifter is supposed to have a very unique feel to it?
i've driven many a manual transmission vehicles and they all pretty much felt the same - compared to my 924. I mean there is soooo much play in the shifter it ALWAYS feels like it is in neutral. I have all my gears, and it only took a little getting used to get "find" my gears and know how to shift. i'm so used to it I don't notice it. but my pal at corvettecollection.com drove it the other day and mentioned he had never driven a stick like that before.
any comments? is something going to drop from underneath my ride soon?
thanks in advance.

the 924 has a hard to press clutch....mines at least....and it is a litle bit hard to change in gears..but other than that..its excelent..

For sure! Same "problem" I've got (actually, it's pretty easy to fix, procedure is in the FAQ's).
Funny enough, this problem has afflicted just about every Porsche and BMW car I can think of. However I'm yet to see it on other makes...

thanks for the confirmation - sounds like a good project to get my virgin hands dirty on.
