Upon inspection of the shift lever I realized there is a critical difference between the shift linkage of the 915 transmission of the early cars and the G50 shifter for the later 1988-89 Carreras. The shift lever of the 915 transmission has the pivot point located above the linkage rod and the G50 shifter pivots from below.
G50 shift lever on the Left, and older 915 lever on the Right.
The previous owner had a machine shop manufacture the adapter plate for the 915 transmission which mates with the warp 11 motor. Apparently they also made an adapter to mate the G50 shift rod with the 915 gear selector.
Its a nice looking piece of work, but I can't handle a shift pattern that looks like this
R 4 2
5 3 1
So I ordered a 915 shift lever and rod on ebay to match the transmission.
Hahahahaha, transform the car in a right hand drive, and the shift pattern will be ok again! :)
