I’ve had a chance to go through some very useful past discussions, but as always win a couple years has gone by it’s worthwhile to revisit this topic The latest thinking and experiences. Looks like there’s a trade off between buying a pre-packaged kit versus trying to roll it all yourself, while expensive having someone else have done the brain damage does have a certain appeal to it.
Any thoughts or coaching out there on this? I’m assuming if you go the route of a kit do you want to have the kit in hand when the gearbox servicing and flip is done, yes? Thanks! |

I’ve been running the Martin Bott kit for years. Unless a shop has built one before, I wouldn’t trust them. Two well known shops in so cal, couldn’t figure it out. I ended up driving my car to PMS and flew back, so they could work on it. The trans now shifts like it’s supposed too. I’m also running PMS shift linkage and a 911 rennshift. If your going to the WCR, I will be there with my car and you can go for a ride.
