The WEVO is a great upgrade. I think you get a better bang for the buck with the Seine modification (spring loads the shift in neutral into the 3/4 position, as the Wevo does) combined with the factory short shift.

The good thing about the factory shifter is that it maintains the same side to side movement, while shortening the front to back movement. In addition to its price, the Seine includes a weld-on tab which keeps you from getting a whine in 1st and 2d. You will note that where Porsche spring loaded these shifters - 5th and reverse - they provided ears and a hook on the lever so that the spring pressure was taken up on these fixed parts at the shifter, rather than inside the gear box in the rear. Having a shift fork be under constant pressure is not something the 915 internals were designed to do.

And replacing the oval shift coupler bushings with something with no slop makes a world of difference as well.

If I wanted the shift knob up higher I would raise the whole assembly. Calls for some cutting and adjusting of things, but can be done. But to each his own, and we have varying expectations.
