The pattern at the transmission is basically fore/aft and in/out where the mechanism goes in the side of the tranny. The in/out are the sideways or gates of the shift lever and the fore/aft are the aft/fore movements of the shift lever. I think it would require two cables, one for each axis and you would have to measure how much the "ball" at the transmission moves for each movement at the shift lever. To do that pull off the cover and find some sort of reference plane then get a friend to move the shifter through each gear and then measure. If the idea of this whole exercise is to make a much faster shifter, you will probaably be out of luck as a 901 transmission was never designed to shift fast and only to use 1st gear in the pit lane which is why the 2nd to 3rd shift is the faster shift. I'd opt for a late transmission and cable shifter but that would end up being worth more that a couple of 914s probably? I know Patrick in Phoenix does these and they are not cheap but nice. Good luck.
