I installed the WEVO PSJ coupler several years ago and the 915 classic shifter a couple years after that. If I were to go back in time and do it over, I would probably just do the coupler, as it makes for a big improvement compared with the original, sloppy unit. I like the spring centering and shorter throws the new shifter gives you, but I think the value proposition is questionable.

After putting in the new shifter, it took a few adjustment iterations to arrive at the best position for all gears. It shifts cleanly, 1-2 is fine (ie. take your time and keep the revs up) but sometimes I find it hard to get the shifter out of 4th gear after driving for a while. Not sure why that is. My transmission may require some work in the future, as I'm not sure anything has ever been done to it.

I also felt the centering springs provided with the shifter, while probably good for track use are much too heavy for normal street use. WEVO sells lighter springs, but I managed to find some lighter ones myself to use. It still provides spring centering, but not as heavy as before.

Hope that helps
