Ok, for those of you who have put a 915 in your 914, what are the linkage requirements? Does it just magically connect to the same 901 linkage? I didn’t think so…
What do I need? Currently running the JWest shifter for the 901. |

I originally made my own shift rod with two Apex joints. PMS said it was too wimpy, so I ended up with their shift rod. I am running the Martin Bott 916 kit. If your kit is a wevo, it is a totally different animal. It is a lot of work but worth it. Check out this link for pictures of the home made shift rods. Otherwise pay the bucks and buy all the plug and play stuff from PMS. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=102988 This page is from one of the PMS builds, mine is identical, except for MSDS 1 3/4" headers for my 3.6. https://patrickmotorsports.com/blogs/news/1972-914-tangerine |

Carrera 915 with the Bott 916 kit and all of the PMS shift linkage. I'm going to use the JWest shifter as well. All still waiting to get installed so no real world experience on how it all works. PMS did the Bott 916 conversion several years ago. It was not cheap then so I can't imagine what it would cost today. |
