I have rebuilt my 915 and replaced a few bearings in the differential that had some issues. It shifts great, as long as I take my time, and drive it like a 915 is supposed to be.

That’s more the 914 shift linkage than the gearbox itself. The 901/911 gearboxes, mostly because of their thinner lighter gears, are arguably nicer to drive than a 915. I’ve owned both 914s and 911, and that 1-2 shift across the gate is so much more sloppy on a teener. I pick 4th more than I care to admit.
That 75 911S in my sig has a 911 in it and I freaking love it.
