Currently have a 915 transmission with 3.6 varioram motor. It's very balky and I'd like to switch back to the original G50. The bell housing took a big hit in a track mishap when they were in a 911. The motor is now in a 914 and I miss the G50. Stan at GBox has offered to fabricate a new bell housing and add GT3RS third, fourth and fifth gears. Has anyone made this conversion? My mechanic is wondering about what pedal cluster to use. Any recommendations appreciated. TIA.

Yes the 915 is not a G50, but what's your concerns with a 915? Also, how is the current set up...side shifter / Vellios, Wevo and or cable ? Oh how about Martins 916 type side shifter?

Oh how about Martins 916 type side shifter? Current setup is Porsche 914 short shifter and Wevo linkage. My Wevo shifter apparently could not be set up, so even with short shifter, it's like driving a bus. It can be physically hard to pull it out of 5th gear when downshifting, then you have to hunt for third gear. After driving with a g50 on the track, it's difficult to go back to the 915. It's like going from a 993, to a SC. |
