I think trying to use a 914/901 tranny is crazy! You might as well muont the tranny up side down! 914 tranny is ment to hang from the car your turning it around and bolting it to the fork tube. A 911 tade forks like a bug so the stock mount can be adapteded the a T-1 and still have a very stock look. As far as the diff the cover is on that side so you can shim the diff. If you can flip the you would have to take it all apart and put it together several times. The linkage is simple in the side shift 914 tranny but to run a normal shift rod would be a B itch. it would have to start outside the chassis tube and the cut back in to the shifter. As far a cable shifter I don't like them they don't seem to take abuse very well at all. If you look at VW rail thet use a T-1 tranny and are mid engine must of them use a shift rod the pivot. The 911/901 tranny might be a little more exspensive but that is want EVERONE use I have never seen a 914 tranny used. there is Too many problems with it in this aplication. sorry but I don't want you to waste time and money.
