Hey all I need help with Vellios shifter.
I am looking for a drawing of the shift fingers. I need to replicate or repair mine. Does anyone have a drawing of this part? (I am speaking of the shifting levers or fingers, not the cast aluminum part) Thanks Marv Attached image(s)

Is that a picture of your piece? If so, I'm not seeing what is wrong with it other than it needs quite a bit of smoothing and polishing to work nicely. I should have a complete kit I can reference if you like.
I have no drawings, but could take some pictures if that would help. |

Picture was for reference only. Mine were ground down and hacked up by an idiot. You have a complete kit ? |

Mine were ground down and hacked up by an idiot. You have a complete kit ? I may have a couple that are not in transmissions at the moment. We have been running the Velios parts for some time and I can make them work just fine. I do suggest the extra springs in the 915 shift console to help with the gating, but other than that, I think they work fine. The internal parts of the kit installed in the track car has been ground and polished from the rough castings that were once sold by George. The "ears" on the shift fingers need to have the sharp edges broken and the rest polished in order to make nice shifts. The shift shafts also required some clean up work. There was also some clearancing that needed to be performed on the back side of the shift "fingers" that you have a picture of as it could make contact with the gear stack when shifting into one of the gears (I think it was second, but it may have been third.) I have looked at the WEVO parts and the newer parts that convert a 915 into a clone of a 916, and while they are nice parts, the parts that I have work for me and if I found another VELLIOS kit available and affordable, I would consider buying it as another spare. I have never broken any of the parts of the kit and after polishing the kit we run, the problems with it are little to non existent. The 915 boxes are balky and can not be "speed shifted". They can be shifted fast, but one must not try to force it. As I understand it, the synchros used after the 915 are able to shift much more quickly. I can take detailed pictures of what you need if you want to rebuild your bits. |
