I bought a shorter geared, limited slip, 915 trans with a Vellios side shift conversion. Owner of the shop I bought it from I trust implicitly, and he said it was the best conversion out there - better than WEVO because it makes it a side shift instead of converting tail shift to use in a 914. The customer that had it ran it in his race 914 and loved it.
Anyone here know anything about the conversion kit? Do I need to change the shifter? I currently have a Rennshift for my current 901... Thanks for any comments. |

Thank for the info
So Steve, when you say "convert" the Rennshift, I assume you mean to the normal H pattern shifting instead of the 'dogleg' H we have in our 901? that's actually been a question i've wondered: will the shift pattern be as in a normal 915 where 3rd and 4th are on the same plane? if so, that would be a huge help since most tracks I run are 3 & 4 gears most times (5th here and there, but mostly 3-4). Shifting on the same plane is always easier. Ron, I laughed when you said 'don't expect OEM shift quality' because I've always thought OEM sucked. |
