Short shift on Boxsters, caymans, 996 and 997 are all a good improvement.

Not sure about the Porsche Shop one, other members may be able to give feedback on them or their short shift kit. We have fitted a lot of the B&M ones though.

I do notice a difference in my friends C4S, as he doesn't have a short shift. I love mine, but not sure of the make? It was fitted by JZM.

bit late to the party on this but if the 997 GT3 shifter is the one to have - direct fit, and has metal bushes rather than the cheese (sorry, plastic) that is in the std car

Following on, has anyone fitted the ones from eBay!

Or is cheap is dear?


Where can you get the 997 GT3 kits?

Short shift transformed the selector, especially when driving enthusiastically
Be aware though that there is a downside in that the gear lever can become/feel stiff/notchy especially when cold..
I'd look at the B&M one...

[DavidWH]

I' ve fitted both B&M and the rip off variants - nothing much between them to be honest.
However, as Gary says, they can be a bit stiff when the oil is cold, and are a bit of a bugger to align perfectly, which will also contribute to accuracy / stiffness.
