72 915 linkage question! HELP PLZ! :)
Here's a pic of the tranny I'm getting. Its a 915 out of a '72 911. Could anyone tell me what that lever is for? Also, in the links are a couple of pics of the linkage...could anyone tell me what linkage setup I need for this tranny? I'm dropping it into a '81 DeLorean and I'm REALLY lost on how to hook up the linkage.
Thanks for any help!! ![]() Tranny Linkage 1? Tranny Linkage 2? shifter linkage? |

That lever is for the throttle cable. The throttle cable runs from there to the petal in almost a straight shot. THat bellcrank then changes that motion to about a 45 degree angle to reach the top of the engine. If you don't need it you can either take it off or leave it, doesn't matter. All it does is swivel.

That rod poking out in the background is the shift rod. It attaches to a coupler that attaches to the shiney rod in the front of the transmission. THat shiny rod is the input shaft.
The clutch fork would be in relation to this photo, on the backside underneath.

hmm.. I'm not sure how that's going to work since the 915's clutch is cable activated and it looks like the delorean's is hydrolic.
The shifter mechanism is very different as well. The 911 uses the forward back motion of the rod and the left right motion is translated into angular motion.

hmm. isn't the delorean a mid engined car? The transmission is facing the wrong way for the standard shifter mechanism to work. WEVO makes a side shifter adapter for the 915 that you can then use with the 914 linkage to make it work.

So how many miles are on that 915? If you haven't considered it yet, it would be a good idea to rebuild it if it's over 90K mi. I believe there were some new synchro hubs for sale in the classifieds board recently. Good luck.

AHH I didn't know that, I thought it was mid engined. That tranny should work just fine for you then. What you'll need to do for the clutch is run a cable from the petal to the clutch arm which is underneath the bellhousing. I don't have a diagram but I"ll try and find a pic of my clutcharm

There's a few pictures of my clutch arm in this thread but they're kind of hard to see. THe picture that I reposted here is one of a vicegrip hanging from the clutch cable.
