Shifter for 915 trans.

[ScreamingMan]

We are in process of building a 74 911 IROC RSR and ready to pull the plug for a shifter. Were have a fresh race ready 2.7 and upgraded to a 79 aluminum case 915 gearbox. I would like to know what shifter you guy's are using and why you chose that specific Mfg. Right now I'm looking at a Protechnik lock out kit but some of the complete replacement shifters look good too.

Thanks in advance for your input in helping me make my decision.

To keep the IROC appearance, a factory short shifter would be appropriate.

If you want a shifter that makes shifting the 915 box much better and appearance isn't an issue go with WEVO.

A Hargett setup will move the shifter up and back but at the expense of the factory look.

There is much debate on which of the aftermarket shifters are the "best". A search will yield tons of info. Try the words "short shifter".

That looks like a fun project. Be sure to show us the finished car.

Moving to the 911 tech board...

WEVO makes a nice unit....

Both the Wevo and the Hargett are good, it really depends on your personal preference.

I like the Wevo for a street/track combo but the Hargett for a real track-only car like this one posted a while ago on this board.

I have a Wevo with an extended knob... I love it.

If money is little object, the Hargett looks good, although (unless Hargett has done this already) it should help to run a brace from the right front side down to the tunnel.

If money is an object, the Seine Systems with the factory short shift is really a great improvement over stock, and does what the more expensive systems do - centers the shifter side to side in the 3/4 plane.

Every race car should have a shifter which does this, of whatever brand.

The least expensive fix to the coupler is tight round holed bushings. Takes all the unneeded fore and aft slop out.

The Seine was the BEST $150 I have ever Spent on my 911. With a Factory SHort SHift the total spent is $300 and you will look like the Factory.

It is exciting just to look at your car.

You have a Bertram too? what are the odds...

WEVO. I put a Hargett in a G50 converted 930 and loved it but it required a LOT more work to get installed. We run WEVO in all our race cars and love it..
