Just to move things along a bit I thought I'd share my modding activities from last weekend.
Put a B&M SS kit on my 996TT on Sunday. After reading various reports about notchy-ness I was a little dubious, but hell, I've had two manual M3's, it can't be any worse than them!
Anyway, installation was a couple of hours, as with all these things I could probably do it much less now I know how
The result is fantastic & has transformed the shift action. It's very, very slightly notchy but very nicley clicky, the std feels slick enough although a little remote & long (well it does now). The B&M has about 35% less movement & a great mechanical feel. Higly recomended. btw, the B&M is OEM for the ss option from Porsche themselves so I believe. I picked mine up on a recent US trip and saved a few bob too.
