Agree here. I run the Numeric shifter (and coupler + JWest rod bushing) with the extension and it’s great. Both for ergonomics, since it brings the shift knob above knee-level, and leverage.

If I didn’t have the Numeric I’d probably run the JWest. Dave @ TRE liked the Numeric in my car when I was there just over a month ago.

Per usual my advice is that a shifter is personal preference, but that a well sorted 915 is actually a great trans to drive, even under duress. There are just a lot of them out there with shot bushings, poorly adjusted couplers, main shaft play and worn synchros — or more likely, a combination of all of those things — that leads many people to believe they’re all like that. A shifter alone won’t make up for those problems.
