Since I don't have my original engine & the trans I have has been converted to a side shifter, I was thinking of converting my six to a 915 transaxel & would like to know what everyone thinks is the most practical, or the most economical, or the most bullet-proof, etc... Or should I put in some sort of shifter that will notch me up a bit. The car has new shift bushings & it's still sloppy. I suspect I should check the rear mounts as well. Thanks.

Core: ~$1000 LSD: $1500 (if yer doin a 915, ya gots HP and need an LSD) Flip R and P: do it yerself or have pro do it. While yer in there: seals, gears, bearing retainer, dog teeth, etc. WEVO side shifter kit: ~$3500 CV's: 915 to 914/6 stub axels(I used 911 CV's) Custom fab shift linkage.
