997 shifter vs 997 SSK
#46
When the 2010 GT3 Shift console first arrived, we put them all in a row and examined them all. We didn't notice any throw-difference between the stock and GT3 version. They both would extend to the same positions, the 997 short shifter was the only exception.
The 997 GT3 (2010) is not a short shifter from what I've seen, you will notice that that the GT3 and standard version are at a parallel position.
For more info on the individual consoles:

The 2005-08 GT3 comes with the stock 997 shift console, nothing fancy.

Wow, thanks for all your effort guys. That's why I bought my 997 SSK from you.
Getting it installed tomorrow.
Getting it installed tomorrow.
Here is the info I can tell you about the stock ones.
Some of the benefits of the 997 factory kits (over B&M):
Hope this info helps, happy holidays!
- 997 Version - Easy upgrade for 996/986 owners. Smoother shifts, slightly reduced throw compared to the 9X6 versions.
- 997 GT3 Version (2010) - Same as the standard 997 version, but has metal bushings instead of plastic (these bushings are for the left-to-right pivot). This is not a short shift kit, it has identical shift throw as the stock 997 version. The reinforced bushings are probably ideal for racing.
- 997 Short Shifter - Smoother shift and reduced throw. I would consider this kit the best one available on the planet (for reliability, quality, and preformance gains). I don't think this is made by B&M, I'm pretty certain this is 100% Porsche. The guts do not resemble the B&M or the older 996 Short Shifter.
- 996 Short Shifter - This version may have been a repackaged B&M kit. It looks identical to the B&M, but was powder-coated black instead of blue. Unlike the 997 versions, this one would take more time to install, and you have to diassemble the shift console assembly for installation.
Some of the benefits of the 997 factory kits (over B&M):
- Warranty friendly (if applicable)
- Come with gear mechanism and shift console assembly - makes installation simple, a quick bolt-on and clip-on installation.
- Comes with alignment tool, so the shifter will be perfectly aligned.
Hope this info helps, happy holidays!

DO NOT let Sean see this as I'm quite sure it will be used for something entirely different then what it was designed for...
