New Hans 928 shifter
I thought I would give a quick review and let anyone else that has installed the new Hans shifter to chime in. I will let SeanR give his input on the install process/details etc. First impressions are the build quality is quite nice and beefy. All components are really high quality down to the bolts/nuts sourced. So, after a full day of driving, Wow! I’ve had the stock shifter, the Lizard shifter (no disrespect, was a great shifter for its time) and now the Hans shifter. The Hans shifter transforms the car completely. I thought the short coming of the 928 was the trans all along and now I believe it was really the original shifting mechanism. This short shifter takes shifting the car back to a pleasure from being a chore before. Makes the shifting much smoother -feels great. Nice job Hans SerVaas and great installation Sean Ratts! https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...844fed425.jpeg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...6d4cd120a.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...b2f1d10d7.jpeg (All photos courtesy of Sean Ratts- 928Docs) |
Just for the record, I hate you a little bit.
God that thing is gorgeous. |
Where would one acquire this shifter? It might be my next 'gotta have'.

From Hans.
https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...er-design.html My understanding is that he makes stuff in batches. Once a batch is sold out, you are SOL until he makes the next one. Not sure what the status is on these. |

not to rub it in but that torque tube has new Constantine bearings in it.... :evilgrin: Maybe more than just a little bit. :p |
very nice Alex, I know the TT was dropped for the bearing replacement on your car but can the Hans shifter be installed without dropping the TT?

And it is a very nice shifter. I agree that a good shifter makes big difference in the enjoyment of a manual car. As I mentioned in a prior thread, It wasn't as 'transformative' as the CAE shifter was in my 2wd 993 turbo, but a big improvement, especially as I had worn cup and loose rear coupler that was replaced too. There's a fair bit of adjustments that can be done which is fun. Still haven't figured out the optimal spacers and height for me. Impression is the lateral throw seemed to be reduced more than forward back.

Would he make one for a 968?

Here is a photo of Hans & AO installing one in the "Coke" car without removing the TT at the Hell event in Michigan last summer.
They completed it in a few hours without to much drama or expletives emanating from car in the hot sun, so It can't be too bad of a job! https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...19ed028f69.png |
