Out comes the tranny. WEVO shift parts are on the way.

I can't believe how dirty it is back there from the 2000 mile WCC trip. I'll have to get in there with some soap and a brush.

They are Konis.

Joe, what happened to the 914? Shifter troubles?

Maybe you should put a 2270 in it?

Be sure to update us on returning the Vellois parts to Patrick (if you get any grief).

When I ordered the Vellios conversion kit for the tranny, I didn't know WEVO was making a better set up.

Nothing broke, but I want it to shift perfectly, so I'm changing conversion kits.

You test out the 2270 and let me know how it goes.

I've listed the parts for sale here for $1500 (negotiable). If anyone wants them, it's a good price.

Otherwise, they're going back to Patrick. He know's they're coming.

You will be happy with the WEVO set-up...it makes it feel like a brand new 993.

Here is a picture of it installed on the tranny in the tube frame 914 racer...



What other WEVO bits did you get? I have the internal gate shift on mine, I can't wait to get my car together to try it out.

I have the shifter too. The gate shift mod is not in the budget right now as sorting out the tranny has become rediculously expensive.

holy moly joe!! must be the savings on steak, hamburger, hot dogs, and jerky that allows for such extravagance. the drive to pland will take the shine off that tranny.

I'll be out sometime this week, but I'm on short calls lately so I probably won't be able to come down this time.

Absolutely, but the notice on my trips has been very short lately.

We may just be airlining out in the morning to return here in the afternoon.

I would love to get together. Let's set something up when I know my schedule and have an overnight or two.

My first laugh today. Thanks Miles.

Hi Joe,
I see you didn't waste anytime pulling out the Vellios. You may be better off without the internal Wevo gate shift. It makes it a little harder to shift. Its intention is to prevent the 915 gearbox problem of selecting two gears at once. If I come to Sandia for the Pro Autosports Event this summer, you can drive my car with the gate shift and see if prefer it without the added parts.

Thanks Andy. That's a very nice offer. If you come out, you've got a place to stay. We're not very far from the track.

I've been kicking myself for not asking to drive your car at the WCC, but you know how it is. That's a lot to ask of someone.

I didn't even think about it or I would of let you give the Wevo a try.

Andy

Hey Joe and Andy, enjoyed going around "streets of Willow" with you guys! But it looks like I'm going to have to "improve my car" if I'm going to keep up with you guys.......(my little 3.0L/901trans may need to grow up). How about a 3.8L/G50 set up? robert d.

Though I don't have a setup like you guys, the 901 in my car is out also. The main shaft broke at WCC track day. After just having the engine rebuilt, this is going to be an expensive pill. Maybe at WCC06 I'll try to harrass some of you 3.8/915 guys with my lowly 2.7/901 setup.

Just a quick question.. Have you ever driven a WEVO 915 in a 914 "without" the gateshift ?

Brad, would you please do me the favor of typing 'fucking' on threads that I start. If you want to use the word, it's OK with me.

Ha ha.. The "puritans" would get upset with me. I use "f-ing" in public when needed.. but I rarely use the whole word. I took on the Howard Stern radio broadcast "speak".. pee pee instead of DICK.. you name it.

By no means does the above statement reflect that I give a SHIT about what people think of me..


B

The Red Green Show... TV's favorite "Hick" handyman. It was a particle board referrence.

Brad, being from Indiann'r you probably thought it was a "Reality" show that's why you never watched it.

Did that guy ever do Paris Hilton? I think so.

If you guys go to dinner in santa monica id love to join ya.

just in case you forgot what it felt like.

Brad,
I have not driven a 914 Wevo without the gate shift. I have mixed feelings about the gate shift because the shift from 2nd to 3rd and 4th to 5th have to be exaggrated (over and up). I have missed the shift from 2nd to 3rd too many times to count and that's with almost two years of track events on the car.

However, I think the gate shift does play a valuable role in saving the transmission from selecting two gears.

Andy

This is the tube frame car that I was talking about...

you need any help with that?

Right on time! The new WEVO parts are here. Hopefully the tranny will be back in the car next week.
