You also need an MSDS CNC-milled adaptor to bolt the 911 shifter into the
T3 cockpit floor, plus linkage adaptors. These are the expensive bits. The
VW shifter won't work the Porsche trans, according to Marty and various
Germans who have installed 911 trans in their T3s.

In theory my G50 is coming with complete shifter linkage. If it was ever
really sent!

I'm not happy with Marty, and his German counterparts are useless! Looks
like I'll have to get it all made here and hope it all works...
