Sportomatic to 915 conversion

[21window]

70 E Switching to carburetor engine

I think I know the basic items needed

Pedal cluster
Shifter
trans mount
obviously clutch and flywheel
remove vacuum stuff
clutch cable
non sporto oil tank


questions in mind are:

is the shift shaft the same or do I need a 915 shaft?

as far as the clutch cable goes do I need to weld a tube or is it already there?
what else is needed to make the clutch cable happen? bowden tube? what about by the pedals?

anything else?

thanks

The clutch tube is usually there but I've seen sporto cars with NO clutch tube. G

pedal cluster cover and carpet piece. (Coupe and Targa are different)
You don't, necessarily need to change the oil tank.

Anyone know anything about axles/cv's or output flanges?

The axles are the same for both transes as long as you use like years. The output flanges can not be interchanged between a 905 sporto and a 915 4 or 5 spd.

axles on the car now have 4 bolts and 2 dowels. Is there a setup like that for 915 flanges?
