Where is the fifth gear? Does reverse stay the same?

Can a berg shifter work with a 915 transaxle?

Can a vw shifter be modified for the 915 or is it like the 901, and the whole shifter needs to be used.

I got a 915 and it's huge.

That's for a watercooled VW.

Jamestwo mentioned about the Porsche 915 tranny.
Compared to a tranny in a 914, the shift pattern is:

R-2-4
1-3-5

So Jamestwo was wondering how much different in the shift pattern between the two.

James,
Check out the bugat5speed kit for mounting the 915. It is the way to go.
