Help Needed-Transmission Info For Mid Engine

[mspear]

Hi,

My son and I are trying to set up an 84 Carrera engine and transmission for a mid engine car.

Does anyone have info on how to adapt the shift linkage? Is there a way to convert the 915 transmission to a side shift setup?

We have read that you can turn the transmission upside down and use a pump to pump the gear oil.

Any help would be appreciated.

the porsche 914 was mid engined, you could possibly adapt the shifter set up from one of them.

That is a trip and I'm amazed that no one has brought up this before, looks to be like a very cool product.
Can you tell more about how it works, shifts, etc?

It's a great product. I had struggled for about a year with a hard linkage system made up of universal joints and rods ends - it never really worked and I was always adjusting it. It made the sandrail a real pain to drive. I came across the the cable shifter, dropped $550, installed it, adjusted it once and never looked back. I really made the shifting smooth and predictable. Totally bolt on with no transaxle mods.

If you aren't into cables..you could go this route.
