Hi, I only drove mine for about 1500km max since the install but i'm pretty happy with it. Only minor bugs to sort out.
So, mine is a late 915 (1985) with a ZF LSD. It was a non rebuilt unit, that I pulled myself from a 911 with 200k+ kilometers on the odometer.
I'm using Castrol racing B373 LSD oil. Dunno if it's the best choice or not.
I didn't use any bug@5speed parts, I did it all myself.
The clutch is a bus 228mm with a alfa romeo (lancia) 228mm disc. I rerouted the clutch cable through the pan to the right lower side and that's all.
About power plans... right now I have a 2L type4 with probably 100Hp max, but I'm aming high... Wally's car is the standard here :P
And about the shifting.. that is the part that bothers me a little. It took a while to adjust the shifter, but it still isn't perfect. Sometimes it takes a bit of effort to go in 2nd, and I keep confusing 3rd with 5th. But it takes a bit of accomodation also, and I'm sure it will be better and better.
