I thought that it was a novel Porsche patented anti-theft device- try using a sloppy 915 with the shifter spinning around in traffic
cheaper than an immobiliser, i guess

LMAO! Yes, hitting the "gates" for 5th and rev would be a chalenge.
As Sherwood pointed out early in this thread, the alignment is critical. We tacked up 3 times before finding the right spot where it all worked. It was a small rotational adjustment each time. Finally, I put the lever in the 5th gear postion and let it rest spring loaded against the tab before tack welding. This was the magic, so there may be a reason to do this while the shift level is in place in the housing after all.
