I have my 3.0 SC motor ready, and my 915 transmission ready. I called WEVO to order a 915 sideshift conversion, and that part is no longer available.

Has anyone actually seen or installed one of the Bott Fahrzeugtechnik 915 conversions?

Thanks

Steve, I ordered the Bott conversion for my 915/63. Are you using the OEM shifter? Which linkage from Patrick are you using?

I'm using the 911 shifter from Rennshift. JWest sold me the parts to convert my 914 side shifter Rennshift to a 911 Rennshift. It works great!! To shift from 2nd to 3rd, you just push up on the shifter and since the rennshift is spring loaded to the center, it automatically puts you into 3rd like butter.
I am using the PMS shift rod. My car already had the PMS firewall bearing. So, depending on what you are using for a firewall bearing, it might be different. I would call up PMS for recommendations and to make sure you get the right parts.
Otherwise, i think this is the correct part number.
