Has anyone done this? Do you think its worthwhile? Is it easy to install? Opinions and or ideas?

Thanks in advance!

 

I've heard great things about switching over to the 997 shifter (ie smoother and shorter throws). Make sure you get the installation jig with it. And I wonder if the GT3 version with the billet Al would be longer lasting, accurate over a greater period of time, etc.

 

It works great and the install was pretty easy. I also did the lingage upgrade from evo.

 

I installed the 997 shift and the feel was much better that the 996 shifter. I would recommend the 997 shifter strongly. I also tried the B&M short shifter it was a little harsh for my tastes. I have a B&M for sale if anyone is interested.

 

Personally if i had not bought my 997 Shifter from Phil @ DD for $100 Shipped i would have bought the Porsche Factory Short Shift Kit insted... After driving my friends 997.1 GT2 and 997.2 GT3 RS several times and the Short Shift Kit is the way to go for the extra $$$... just my 2 cents

 

I just bought one off ebay for $88 shipped. And it has the green jig thingy. Waiting until I order the GT3 console delete before I install it. Looking forward to it though.

 

I have a friend that has a 2005 997 Carrera S does that have the regular shifting or the short shift kit? Or how would i know? I know that it is definitely shorter and smoother then my 996

 

Did it yesterday!

Love it!!!

Part of an overall major upgrade to my 997 (08') by Fabspeed in Ambler, PA. Will post pics and extensive review when I get the chance (i.e. when business, kids or wife will let me take a breath

The best inexpensive upgrade I ever did on a car. Don't even think about not doing it. it's that good!

you did the short shift kit? Cant wait for your review!

 

I bet one of you guys outbid me recently. Still trying to win one off the bay...

 

SSK is very very short and the 997 Shifter Box is very similar to 996 Shifter Box, best to try and find a GT car and try it out...

 

Thanks ill visit my dealer, they have those on-hand to see.

 

lol, the Distance between Neutral and 3rd Gear on your Stock 996 Shifter is the Distance between 3rd and 4th gear and so on, just to put it in sense :P

 

I'm thinking of doing it as well! Will post. However, does anyone know if first is a bit stickier in colder climates? Here in Switzerland, it's cold most of the year!
