anybody have experience with these shifters and which one is best..
thanks

 

What about EVOMotorSport swift shift? Not as severe as the 30-35% reduction like the B&M and a very nice action, replaces the OEM plastic bushings too. Got my vote. Also what about the 997 complete unit?, apparantly that's pretty good too and OEM.

 

I had the B&M in my 996. No problems and I'm really glad I did it, I'll probably put another one in when I get my next 996 or possibly 993. I am amazed at how long the OEM shifter's throws are. B&M was much shorter although a little notchy which didn't bother me. Very durable, I tracked the car, had about 15 track days driven very hard with no problem.

B&M is the way to go.

 

Haven't heard much about the EVO, although my close friend has one in his E36... and loves it!

 

Had a schnell for about a week. very sloppy, if this was the only product available, I would have returned to stock. It is that BAD.

But replaced it with a b&m. This is what stock should have been. Short shifts, tight ...

B&M. make sure you check adjustment with the stocker before installing the SS.

 

stock throws = row row row your boat gently down the stream, but not so merrily

 

OEM SSK is the best, the second line choice would be the BM. The schnell is a chinese knockoff, total junk. I helped a guy install one in his boxster, a real POS, he also put a BM in a week later. Eric at bumperplugs can hook you up on the bm. try suncoast porsche for the oem version.

 

B&M, very happy with it.

 

get the OEM one hands down, no issues and will not void your warranty

 

Actually OEM is B&M just rebranded, so its not better. Schnell is not a Chinese knock off.
There are plenty of Chinese knock offs though. From what I have heard they are exact copies of the B&M.

 

well, if install a B&M and a few months later you have the 2nd gear pop-out issue, dealer won't warranty it.

if you car has warranty and you want a peace-of-mind, get the OEM and have the dealer install it

otherwise, sure, get the B&M one.

btw, you can get the OEM from brandywine porsche for 200 shipped

 

Well if they are the same price I would take the rebranded Porsche.

I was on the verge of odering the B&M from bumperplugs, do you have a link or contact info for Brandywine Porsche. (google seems to pull up some other porsche parts plcae, though the name may have changed)

 

Any. Just get a ssk cause you will use it everytime.
