915 WEVO gateshift kit, anyone driven one?? Options

[kdfoust]

So I'm taking the plunge into a 915 conversion. As part of the conversion I'm considering having a WEVO gateshift kit installed. I like the idea very much but have never driven a car equiped as such. Have any of you driven a car with the gate shift installed? Assuming I get the linkage nicely done, for my $900 I'm looking for something that feels like a BMW M shifter. Is that realistic?

Later,

I had the gate shift installed in my 915. I haven't driven it yet to give any feedback on how it works though. I hope to drive it this week.

I did notice that Wevo changed (beefed up) the rear casting though. Yours is much more substantial at the mounting ears. Sometimes it doesn't pay to be (b)leading edge! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Here's my mounting ear (and before anyone tells me my washers are upside down, they've been corrected along with the machining of the lower washers for clearance):

East coaster,

Good observation.. I'm glad that Wevo decided to 'beef' up this area. That was an area of concern for me when they first come out with this great product.
