 Hi altogether, still not on our site (www.bugat5speed.de), but ready for market within the 1st quarter of 2010. 916 gearbox conversion parts. Conversion kit is very near to the OE Porsche 916 kit that was offered in small qty. in the 70s. Kit is with the original 916 OE repro sideshift, mechnical components inside and with a very short nosecone (even 5 mm shorter than OE parts 916). Usage of original exhaust systems is no problem. Complete kit for usage with electronic speedometer will be about 2.100 Euro for export (without VAT). With mechanical speedo drive it will be 2.225 Euro Freight cost to the US about 50 Euro. For more info (upload of pictures is limited here) please send me a PM or better mail to info@bugat5speed.de Martin Bott Bug @ 5-Speed Germany |

We've done both conversions for customers at CFR-TRP.
IMO, price aside, the 916 yields a better final product. Re the 916 kit: We were sent a duplicate of the 916 upper support for the selector shaft, which required some welding and machining to install in a 915 case. I haven't seen the upper support designed specifically for a 915 case, however I did receive some feedback in a conversation with Peter Dawe. Apparently there is considerable clearancing required to make it fit. The WEVO kit isn't easy to install either and has its own problems, some of which were elaborated on in Steve's post. Internal clearancing is required for the shift rods to function. The o-ring seal on the rear cover sucks, and is likely to weep gear oil. |
