your doing a service to the 944 community by showing us in detailed videos how to make our cars better.
Casey is the fun uncle, change my mind
WOOOOO HOOOOO!!!! No instructions, no supervision, and NOTHIN BUT 80S!!!! Short shifter rules! What do you guys think?
Casey Putsch Makes me want to add one now to my 944 😆
I like this little how-to... watch Casey figure it out videos.... I was inspired to do some more projects... On my 06 Mustang Convertible I am restoring, this last week, I just completed my Coron-acation project of replacing the old mucked up carpet and also added sound/heat insulation to the floor pans. At the end of last year, I did an MGW Short Shifter. The difference from the old factory shifter is beyond night and day! I can appreciate your "excited" state of being when you first shifted!
Looks like the kit from Only944. I installed one and it has been the single greatest improvement to the driving experience of the car. Can't wait to see you reaction once you get it all installed!
The way you mock the haters and trolls is one of my favorites of your personality traits! Love your videos!
Holy crap, that mouse nest was nuts!
That mouse nest was heat insulation lol
Its insulation to cut down on transaxle noise and fumes that tend to creep up thru the boot
People: Casey, you overdo everything. Didn't you learn anything?
Casey: Everything in moderation, including moderation.
See "944" in the title...... I come running as fast as possible!
Or cycling
@@carsonyoder6294 Now that is true.....
You found nuts. It must have been a squirrel. Once you remove the sqirrels's nest the sound dempening effect will be gone. In fact, I have it on good authority that Porsche utilized mice, rats and squirrels to install sound suppression materials. You should call Porsche and buy a new OEM squirrel. I don't have the part number in front of me, but can provide it should you want to go back 100% original.
I laughed so hard at the mouse nest...the same exact thing happened to me when I got into the shifter boot of mine!!! Mice will find a way. I also got pelted in the face with machine gun fire of mouse feces the first time I turned on the HVAC blower 😆
ezdubbin97 hahahahaha! Nice.
Again it's not a nest, it's great insulation
Dear Casey
You have put the last tack in my desire to own a sports car. I recently went out into covid territory to purchase a 1987 944s in need of some love, got a good deal, and it is currently living in my garage. At some point after I give it some of the basic love that it needs (clean the rust spots out of the paint, install a new gauge cluster, and an engine tune up) I will be driving it around to compliment my parents' classic Meyer's Manx dunebuggies (which they have 1 60s original, and 2 new style bodies).
What feels like forever ago I owned an 86 944, but being young leads you to greatly overestimate your ability and intelligence. Sadly the car was mostlikely parted out. However, I am much older now, with responsibilities that *should* stop me from making the same poor choices. I have plans for this car's future, and coming from a family of car people I have several decades of know how, and plenty of tools to help me breath the life I desire into my new child.
Thank you, Casey.
Sincerely, Wyrrmie.
Your videos pushed me over the edge and I bought an ‘87 924S over the weekend. $3k, drove it home and timing belts should be here this weekend. Thanks for all the videos, they’re a great resource for the aspiring young DIY’ers!
This video was JUST IN TIME.
Ironically, I just got my short shifter from Kyle at Only 944 just this week!! :)
I'm drive-restoring a Black/Greige 1983. Keep it coming Casey, between the help and inspiration of these videos, there's no telling how many of these machines you have played a part in saving! Including mine!
I had the exact same reaction when I installed the new shifter in my 944. No more missing 5th!
I've loved 944's since I was a kid and my dad had one. Been searching for one off and on for a few years.. This series has inspired me to go get one, and learn to work on cars.
12:03 "Was is good for you?" 😂
I love anything to do with the 944.You could change a bulb and I would watch the video. Keep em coming Casey.
I was once working on a buddy’s truck with him doing some suspension stuff. I was torqueing down a bolt on one of the shackles and asked “what’s the torque spec on these?”
Him: “AF.”
Great videos Casey! Just installed my new shifter from Only944 a few weeks ago. I am looking forward to the video when you install the short shift kit and hear how you like it.
Thinking about putting one of these on my '87 924S. Your videos have been helpful for preparing for the service I need to do on my engine.
Thanks for all the amazing work you do Casey! Especially helpful for the car guys who wanna learn more about what it means to do your own work! Like me 😁
My pleasure!
I always enjoy the Casey Punch videos.
All the cars are looking 👌
Ok you've got a Honda guy looking for a 944 as next project!!! Love the videos man
I just installed a short shifter and shift linkage arm on my 944 when the transmission was out for a clutch change.
Dang that’s precise as hell. Makes my Prius shifter look like crap.
Elliott Alvis
Your electronic shifter on the dash?
You realize that yours isn’t connected to anything but wires?
Nathan Brame that’s the joke!
Hey DONATOR! Good man! Ive always loved those Red944s. They look SO good....
And on the other hand, YOU'RE HILARIOUS!! 😂🤣
I had exact same mouse nest in my tunnel, vacuum got a good workout that day.
Just ordered the full only944 kit like you have for my car too. I’ll be installing mine when I do my clutch so it’ll be a little easier
Also the plastic the shifter ball goes into is broken on your car. It’s a socket the ball pops into and is very tight
I'm gunna do this to my 944 now haha
Just ordered one too!
Where did you order from? Would love this
I've also got a mouse nest under the shifter in my 924, crazy.
I just went out and bought a 928 because of your videos
Woo Hoo!
I never thought that Alan from two and a half men would make such a good mechanic
Only Kit i have is VEMS Plug and Play ECU and wasted spark for 944. Your project looks good.
Are you a gun guy? I love guns for the same reason I love cars... Engineering !
;) shhh... mechanics and power apply to many things.
Talking about the G-word displeases the TH-cam SEO gods. :) But yeah, most of us are. Physics and engineering crosses many boundaries...
Going from stock to short shifter seems like when I got rid of my ruger p90 and traded up for a cz75.
Watch his corvette VINwiki story he was in wolf reintroduction zone with a PPK.
Guns make people feel powerful but look weak.
Change the Name to Casey’s 80s Garage
Yes!!!
Make it a series name but not your actual channel name.
That aw11 looks so good I might ceramic coat mine
You seriously should.
You got me curious about the shifter. I took mine apart and have insulation just like that, mine looks a little more together though. I ordered some of that Avalon King coating, thanks for giving us tips on it, looks like a great product that works!
NES RF awesome! Just take the time to apply it right and you’ll
Love it!
That insulation is prone to coming apart, even if you dont have a family of mice living in it. The Avalon King Coating is worth it, though. That stuff is magical.
Those shift looking crisper than fried chicken
Ha!
You crack me up man! Buy my 88 924S-Special Edition 😉
I just got a ford 289 off a buddy. Now I need something to put it in....
Dude, get a 951, I wanna see you work on it with your massive talent.
more 944 vids please
that stuff in the shifter was heat shielding/sound deadening material! heheh
I have an Audi A4 that the previous owner had installed a short shifter. It really needs replacing due to wear. No bearing, no grease... Just metal on metal. I have a pretty big list of things that need done. But it drives, now that I got the new to me transmission in...
Bill Carini
Grease it then.
So did the bearing fit between the vertical shaft and the linkage to the rear ? To me it looked as if you fitted it between the cap head bolt and the shaft to rear :)
Take the13 mm socket, put grease in it , then the bolt and lower it onto the torque tube to install the shiftier!!!
Are short shifters worth the investment for road course/ auto cross car? I have a c7 grand sport.
Were do u get your parts
I have 1983 944 and I don't know were to get parts
hello
did you ever install the transmission part of the shifter? would like to see it!
at first i thought the nest was degraded insulation after 40 years but then you found nuts. that squirrel must have had a rude awakening
I know three months is kinda late, but it's not a nest, it's heat insulation cause otherwise it would get shit hot
Now all we need is a 1985 Nissan 300zx with a digital dash and the collection is compleat.
kjg iuty literally the next 80s car I’d buy
I want that or a Mark2 Supra have not decided yet.
I'll go against the flow and install a long shifter. Get that Peterbilt 13 speed shift throw.
Daniel
Short shifters are over rated.
If your shifting that fast your synchros already hate you. Now your leveraging the situation against them.
I’m with you Daniel.
Give me a nice long throw with a nice double-clutch and a shifter that falls into gear.
Every time I see the intro and Casey in the Thunderbird waving his hands I imagine he's saying: gnarrr
I was actually saying "It's just CLAWING at the air!!"" In a bit of a rawring voice. We just pulled 9.1 Gs and the wings were buffeting HARD! It was bad@ss!
@@CaseyPutsch so not pawing ineffectually at the panic button ? Hahaha just kidding . Looks so cool . I'd love to ride in a WWII bird . My grandad worked on hawker hurricanes .
My shifter was the same way... same nest
Best mouse nest discovery 2020
No Christmases or birthdays? Casey, sorry it was rough. ☹️
Isn't all that fluffy stuff in the shifter is sound deadening?
You haven't ever shifted until you shift an old dump truck transmission where finding the gear is like finding my wife after dark.
Wasn’t the “mouse nest” just the heat shield?
Tech tip for the day.
“Don’t clean mouse nests with bare hands”
sweet

Casey "Ceramic coat EVERYTHING" Putch is on rampage!
I I the crap works man!
@@CaseyPutsch I'm fixing my E38 now and it will be the next step for sure
next time you find a mess like that get gloves and a mask. Stay safe. Love the content. Keep it coming.
Casey can you tell some stories about A J Foyt that haven't been made pretty and what he really did.
Hey Casey! What are your thoughts on a 1986 Porsche 928s?
Not Casey, but from what I've seen as the owner of a '78, the 928s are all fairly good cars, with a few expensive things that vary by year.
Take a look around on Rennlist and PelicanParts if you're looking at getting a 928.
There are definitely some 'gotcha' items on some of the later cars, and the DOHC 5L engine is definitely an interference design, expensive if the timing belt breaks.
Dud l want to buy a 944 to but here in the nederlands the cheapest one is liek 6I and in Germany 3 in bad shape
So does Casey start out more prepared on Monday and by Friday he used it all up?
Werewolf486 yup!
WAS IT GOOD FOR YOU
“Maybe you don’t, but it did”
Yo btw check out tommy 86 if you want 80s synthwave vibes ;)
What's worse hantaviruis or corona hmmmm let us know Casey 😜😜
So the mouse/rat in your 944 ceramic coating video thumbnail was a foretelling 🤔
Leon King it’s a scruffy owl. :)
In the 5th gear it touches the walls
Now, sell the mouse nest. That's on par with some bath water.
3:00 "Casey's 80's garage, we've never used erections!"
Who is that guy in the background?
Probably a Genius Garage member bending the floor pan panels for the Lykan to bridge the 8 1/8" gap that was made when the car was chopped in half. 😁
BUFFALO ! ! !
That plastic bushing that snaps on to the bottom of the shifter is supposed to be one piece. Yours has cracked apart into two.
Thats not a mouse nest, thats weird insulation, I got the same thing in mine
Its because the torque tube/transmission tunnel becomes so hot you need that much insulation otherwise... well yeah.... youre hot
Nah, that's definitely a mouse nest. Usually, that insulating foam around the TT just sort of disintegrates when it gets hot, it doesnt bead up in a nest like that. Casey has definitely had some furry passengers.
@@robokid20001 yeah my bad, I rewatched that video... anyways casey's got more experience than I do with 944s
@@emmanuellehuu8818 Is that your 944 in your pfp? That thing looks super clean.
When I work on the interior of my car , the first thing I do is put on a leather jacket !!!!!😄😄😄😄🇺🇸🇩🇪😎😎😎😎🍺🍺
hot
You can homemake the same thing for less than $5 bucks
get some fatter tires for the mr2 those tiny tires are swimming in huge fender gaps makes your cool car look very stupid
Sell the sirocco and get a Peugeot 405 mi16, nobody knows how great sports cars they are, and in US they are very rare
It wasn’t a mouse nest, it’s insulation. BTW, silly voices are never funny.
