To install the WEVO gate shift, you have to remove the stock dongle, and add the new one shown. The stock dongle is held on with a pivot pin and a cotter pin. When I had one of my 915s apart, I thought I'd remove the dongle, and took the cotter pin out. I couldn't budge the pivot pin, and I tried pretty hard, so I left well enough alone.

Never say never sometimes works if you are motivated enough. I removed the stub of a broken head stud without taking the heads and cylinders off once, as I was pressed for time - didn't want to miss the race that weekend. And by chance it was about the only one you could get at that way to weld something on to back the stub out.

So just maybe this could be done without taking the transmission apart - somehow. Even with doing it lying on your back under the car. I'm inclined to think that by the time you overcame all the obstacles you'd be time (and thus money) way ahead by taking the transmission apart and then reassembling.
