What can I say what a HUGE difference. You guys did a great job designing it. Special thanks to Dave, Garitty, and Mark for having my back when the father in law and wife came a lookin. Still waiting for the SC kit, not gonna happen.


Thanks to all

Is Devek's different from the other one at 928 Intl and 928 Specialists?

Andy, did you install it already?

Mine isn't a Devek unit, but I suspect they are all pretty similar.

Green Goblin

I do not know the difference between them I would suspect that they all are pretty close to the same thing, but let me tell you it is amazing in the difference between the two I didnt think that it would be that drastic, but I was wrong. The throw is so much shorter it took some time getting used to it. Is it an improvement, hell yes and it is tighter than a ducks but in water. The next improvement will be S4 brake upgrade, that is when I will put the new sway bar bushings on. John go ahead and do it, it is amazing.

Sounds like something to go on the birthday list. Mom-in-law was just asking what 928 parts I wanted.

...and it's a cheap (relatively) gift- Less than $100. Aside from the new wheels/tires, the best mod on my car.

Green Goblin

Thats what mine was for, my b-day. Goes in pretty strait forword the instructions are great and it take a little getting used to. My wife said that much for this, then she drove the car and said what a difference.

Andy,
I was considering the Devek shifter. Does it take some of the play out of shifting? More effort to shift? How much shorter than stock does the shift **** sit?

It does all you discribed above, I didnt think that just replacing the lever would be so dramatic. What an improvement. Go for it you wont be displeased at least I wasnt. And it looks great, much better than the original. So go for it Toofast. It does take a little getting used to, very firm shifts.

I concur, the shifts are much less sloppy. It doesn't take more effort, but the shifts are crisper. On my car, the shifter shrunk 2+ inches.

Do a search for short shifter, someone at one time put an animated picture in a thread showing the dramatic difference between the two. Was it Gretch or Big Dave? I can't remember.

Good luck.

I have the prototype Devek short-shifter in my '89 GT. The docs you get for the SS from Devek were taken in my garage (Unless they've been subsequently re-written.)

If you want the complete short-shifting experience get the 'fat' shift boot from a MY '91 or newer and install it over the short-shifter.

EDIT: No, I'm not the designer of the SS. My car just happened to be handy.
