WEVO Gateshift.. Anybody using it?
I know the reputation of WEVO stands by itself but are any of you guys using the gateshift kit?
Thanks.

I am ...with the coupler, shifter and sport mounts. Makes a 915 into a whole different animal.

I have one and it helps define the H-pattern alot and adds a bunch of precision to a fairly imprecise device. Wevo shifter and Race PSJ Coupler and engine/tranny mounts help too...

It installs in the trans, and you can install it without taking the trans out.

The gate will keep you from engaging two gears at once in a 915 which will hopefully make it last longer. The shifter gives you the best increase in "feel" out of all the parts mentioned.

I've had mine for quite a few years, now. If you click on either of these video laps and you'll hear (and see) a 915 that shifts quickly and smoothly, even at 6,000+ rpms.
This Willow Springs one shows the gear changes numerically. In this Thunderhill one, you can see me in the cockpit shifting. I also have the shifter and the coupler. But I got the internal gateshift first. Wevo is the best.

Awesome videos Jack!
I would have been awesome if there was a way to have a dash gauge shot as you were driving those tracks. The Thunderhill cabin view inside of the outside view was pretty sweet. -Matt
