B&M..from Eric at Bumper Plugs.

 

who has one already installed?? How is the shifting??

 

B&M doesn't make one for the 993tt...

 

I want to know as well...

 

I just bought it... we'll see soon..

 

thankx buddy for letting us know, also how painful it is to instal :-) gl

 

I have installed the FVD short shift in two of my 993TT's
[ Looking at the photo on the carenewal site, they appear to be the same product. ]

What is it like ?
In a word superb.
It is what the change should have been from the factory.
The throw is sensibly shorter. [unlike some 996 / 997 shortshifts....which are too short]
There is a small increase in weight of the change.
The selection of gears is more precise.

Installation
Easy...if you have a hoist.
The shortshift lever protrudes lower than the standard gearlever, so the centre torque tube coverstrip under the car will need to be modified.
I have heard of people just hammering them to make the required 15mm clearance.
I had both of mine cut and welded.

The short shift works brilliantly when you have a LWF

In summary, I rate is next to coilovers and LWF as a "must do item"


Cheers
Q

 

Excellent !!! Now I'm excited to get mine....

What is an LWF?

 

LWF = light weight flywheel.

 

Ah... got it !!!

I'm sure I'll be right on top of that the first time my clutch comes out..

 

you will find LOTS written about them ....and there are a few variations available.
I found the OEM RSCS LWF [] was the best / easiest to live with.

 

Received my short shifter today... it will be awhile before I have time to put it in, but I will keep you posted..

 

Okay, installed it last night... absolutely awesome difference in shifter feeling. Definitely worth the money, but I am very upset that I had to cut the center cover... I'm worried about dirt going all up in there now...

Aside from that, totally awesome mod.
