The 915 was never “gated” in stock form. It does have a spring mechanism to help prevent selecting 5th/reverse inadvertently.

Most of the aftermarket 915 shifters add a spring mechanism to push the shifter away from the 1st/2nd plane and center the shifter in the 3rd/4th plane. They are not “gated” in the traditional sense of the word.

Wevo sells an internal “GateShift” kit that introduces a gated shift setup, much like the G50, to the 915.

The impetus for these aftermarket shifters is to provide a way too help prevent dangerous misshifts when driving the car hard.

I use the Rennshift and love it. I recently increased the rate of the spring pushing the shifter away from the 1st/2nd plane because I had made a couple of 2nd to 1st shifts when I intended to do a 2nd to 3rd shift.

I have never used a Seine shifter setup. It seems a bit kludgy to me.
