Ben

You also need an MSDS CNC-milled adaptor to bolt the 911 shifter into the T3 cockpit floor, plus linkage adaptors. These are the expensive bits. The VW shifter won't work the Porsche trans, according to Marty and various Germans who have installed 911 trans in their T3s.

In theory my G50 is coming with complete shifter linkage. If it was ever really sent!

I'm not happy with Marty, and his German counterparts are useless! Looks like I'll have to get it all made here and hope it all works...
