Pmax -

In regards to your first point, given that the spring, to my understanding, only sets the shifter in a neutral plane, I don’t think it would have a negative impact on the internals of a 915. I would love to learn more, but I’m not aware of any data points in this regard. Nor am I an expert on 915 transmissions- at least not enough to speak with authority on potential implications in using the spring. Maybe someone who is can chime in (Matt @ Guard Transmissions are you out there?). I would welcome the opportunity to expand my knowledge on this subject.

To your second point, can you please explain how my acknowledgement that the spring is not for Phil is “railing” on him?

Not every modification that everyone does to personalize their particular 911 will be something that’s for anyone else. As I stated to Phil, “that’s fine”. He likes the way his 915 performs for him, I don’t have any problem with that. He’s happy, what’s not to like about that?

I’d actually go a step farther in regards to modifying these cars (from the spring to lighting to exhaust to bumpers to engine internals, etc., etc.) and say this personalization is one of the more interesting and cool things about this hobby and this forum. I like seeing what others do to their cars, some ideas I like enough to explore deeper. Others are not for me, but it’s not my car, so more power to the owner and their personal vision. Whatever makes people happy. Because Happy Is Good. .
