I thought this was going to be a rant, but reconsidered. I like to look at others projects - time to return the favor. Anyhow, I'm putting together a 3.2 with 915 wevo. As a diy'er, I don't have fab capability, so I bought a shift linkage from a well known vendor. I think the product needs improvement. The kit includes front and rear bars, 2 u-joints, and a firewall bearing.
Above is a u-joint from the kit. It is like the joints used in the steering linkage. It is drilled and tapped for a cone screw on one end. Problem is, the screw only engages 1.5 threads before bottoming in the wevo input shaft. Below is a wevo joint I bought to replace it. Using a wevo joint, you'll get 4.5 threads engagement. |

The wevo joints used here are their modular joints.
I don't want to bash someones product w/o giving them an opportunity to reply. To me this is just a hobby. To them it is food on the table. It's pretty clear at this point anyway. Mr West is right, this is not his kit and the shifter is a stock 911 and boot. I did not know you made a linkage Herr Doctor, the patient has been in an induced coma for 3 yrs. It is a fresh, tight box. All I know at this point is that 2 gears can be found on the left - hopefully 1st - 2nd. Turboman, I think the part you say is wrong, is actually right. Well, it was right for me, but it looks like you're using a different shifter than me. Maybe that's it. |
