Adding a 915 trans to a 6 conversion, There must be a better way Options

[mepstein]

Is there any reason I shouldn't consider working up a cable shifter instead of the traditional 916 shift linkage. The current 916 kit is $3-3250. Add in labor for machining and assembly and you're at $5k just to make the trans shift correctly. The suby guys are doing the shifting with $300 worth of cables and hardware. Am I missing something here?

Well, I'm happy to see that there's interest in putting a 915 in a 914. I remember seeing various treads stating that the 901 was sufficient even for a 964....interesting thoughts on the longevity.

Clay's objective is very interesting. Especially with that monster 3.8 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) .

Now, all we need is to see it at the track pulling away from some GT3. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Well one good reason is five useful gears. 1st on a 901 can only be used to get you rolling forward. The 915 I'm putting in was designed by Porsche with gearing for my 3.2. I'm only adding a Quaffe TBD. Besides the nostalgia of having both Andy and my car in the shop at the same time!
