Talked to my friend/mechanic. He said he didn't see anything aside from synchros worth replacing when we took it apart. Considering he rebuilt quite a few including his own 915 in his '72, I'd say he has a good idea of what's up. Also, got to sit in the '72. It had excellent shifts. I may have to borrow his shifter which I believe maybe an original Porsche short shifter he bought in the 80s from a dealership.
Then I today I drove my dual carb'd Bug. That 4-speed with a Hurst short shifter worked just fine. No rev-matching, no fuss, just quick smooth shifts, pop into second any time.
I guess I need to drive someone's 915 pronto. And a G50 as well. Just for comparison.
