Might be a little tricky to adapt one ...but with Markos's 3d skills who knows. It took me a couple of 2nd gear starts in the 308 to get it downI suppose you could install a ferrari gated shifter plate. Haven't seen that yet.

Same pattern as my old '67 911. Great for parking.

Ha! I actually intend to attempt to install a Pantera shifter gate with a dogleg trans. It's no easy thing though, the getrag shifter actually moves very little side to side. Somewhere I found you could buy the gate for $75 so I thought it would be worth trying. I *think* the offset between 1st and reverse will be closer to the Getrag motion than the Ferarri one above. Too many things on my list though. Maybe someday.

I never got the chance to drive a Pantera (must admit that I dreamed about it in my younger years) however, that gated shifter looks awkward to me now after having driven this pattern for many years in my 68 911 and later Aston Martin. The Porsche box was great but the shift linkage was some what vague. The Aston's transmission and shift linkage were plenty precise, but the length of through for each shift was quite long that made quick shifts difficult. The Getrag 265/5 is just right for me (at least now).
Hard to beat a Getrag dogleg with the right final drive for the car... only thing better might be a ZF dogleg. The early 911 boxes are really nice (yes vague) but like cutting butter when set up properly. For a vintage sports car there's nothing like having all 5 gears in the game.
Good to see some enthusiasm for the dogleg. I reached out to Shanon who has one with a 3.46 :eek:. He loves it. I bought a dogleg last weekend. I will be using my 3.25 LSD. I plan on keeping the little euro 2.8 with some upgrades. I figure the dogleg will keep things peppy and interesting.
I see no e9 road trips in my distant future so I'm not concerned about highway drone or fuel economy.Craig Bower

I'm still looking for a good dogleg. One of my euro sixes came with its transmission swapped out for an 265/6 overdrive. I am wanting to return it back to stock, but the unit listed here is a little too rich for my blood.
This really is a bit of an odd thing, isn't it? What makes it worth $4500? Undoubtedly the fact that it is NOS. So does this mean that as soon as you install it and start using it, it loses 50 to 75% of its value?
If all you care about is to get a new original dogleg in your car, cost be damned, then all is well with the world. But if you mainly care about value, then you bought a really expensive paper weight that you can't do anything with...
Or you could put in a csi and drive it... in 5 years and 10k miles the market will have caught up and then some.
You can buy a used one for 2.5k and roll the dice.
I remember when I bought my ZF for about the same and it seemed crazy... not so much anymore.

I was considering doing this. Any particular one that works with a getrag 265? Specifically the length dssr? Pm me not to pollute this thread. Thanks!

I used a 140mm dog bone and a 320i lower half shift lever with bronze bushings. Works perfectly:

Holy moly that's perfect. Thanks! Same plastic bushing in the carrier? The one that goes around the ball?

Looks like a must do project to tackle after I get my engine back together.

Sorry looks like 144mm. E21 model shift lever lower half. Bronze bushings highly recommended.
