The WEVO Shifter is a precision short
shift / spring centered / reverse blocked shift mechanisms for the 901, 915
equipped 911's and 930's. WEVO Shifter kit is intended for street cars, club
event cars and full competition race cars. This kit can be installed in any
version 915 shifter base from cars 1973 - 1986. Part # 911.424.019.05 or
911.424.019.06 (.06 preferred ~ '76 >)
The WEVO Shifter kit is an alternative to the factory short shift kit. The
reduction in lever travel from the stock 915 shifter is 30% - giving the WEVO
Shifter lever a neutral to in-gear movement of 2". The additional precision of
the mechanism offers what feels like further reduction in shift lever travel by
eliminating the free play that exists in the stock 915 shifter unit. It is
spring loaded from both sides and the lever will stand in the 3rd - 4th gear
plane in neutral - this has a similar feel to the spring resistance of the stock
shifter that is only acting on the 5th - Rev gears. This feature helps with
smooth 2nd - 3rd gear upshifts and clean 5th to 4th downshifts.
The WEVO Shift has a reverse selection blocker that is only operational when
moving the lever out of 5th gear (1st on the 901 version). If you are engaging
4th gear, from 5th gear, this blocker will help prevent you from pulling the
lever back and clipping reverse gear. The blocker is overridden when
deliberately selecting reverse from the neutral position- such as when the car
is stationary.
The use of specially designed
components in the WEVO Shifter achieves a high degree of mechanical precision
and almost eliminates the sloppy feeling of the volume production compromised
factory parts.
Your WEVO Shifter kit comes complete and partially assembled with all hardware
and instructions to install the kit. No irreversible modifications are performed
to any original components and the kit will take about two hours to install
including removal and re-fitting of the shifter assembly to your chassis. No
special tools or skills are required.
The installation of a WEVO Shifter will be one of the most positive tactile
upgrades you can perform to a 911 with a 915 transmission. The WEVO Shifter
comes in Classic look for the 901, black or silver anodized finish and Classic
for the 915 and black anodized finish for the 930. Other colors are available by
special order.
There is a taller knob available for Shifter units' intended for race cars.
