that wouldn't surprise me. Shorter shift means less time for boost to go away. Can't wait to install mine

 

Do it already, you'll be mad you waited!!! 40 minute job...

 

It gets better as it wears in guys; I'm at 1k on the 997 shifter now.

 

your right. But I am going to do it when I put my new LWFW and clutch upgrade. in about 2-4 weeks.

 

If you do this now you can assess the effect independent of the clutch upgrades. Anyway, that's all work underneath the car

 

true, well, my carbon backed GT3 style seats are coming as well, so the car will be in literal pieces in about 3-4 weeks. It will be nice to see how all the little upgrades add up to improve the car. Maybe I'll do the shifter this weekend

 

just for clarification- is the standard shifter on the 997TT the same as the 997 shifter that is being discussed here? I just drove a 2008 997tt and i think the biggest improvement of this car over a 996tt is the shifter.

 

Yes, the same shifter, the part number starts with 997

 

Edit to my last post. It turns out the the 2008 997TT that i drove last week has the factory sport shift option. The shifting was smooth, more precise and shorter than the stock 996tt. Now i'm also confused as to why people are going with the regular 997 shifter as opposed to this one. Is the 997 short (sport) shifter also an easy and direct replacement for the 996tt unit?
thanks

 

its only $160 .... do it

 

Which vendor sells the 997 shifter? I hate my notchy shifter!

 

Ok there seems to be confusion here. I believe the stock 997 shifter is ~$160 and the factory short shifter for the 997 is ~$350. My only question is the 997 short shifter an easy install and smooth? IE better than the factory 996 factory short shifter? Thanks!

 

Got mine from Sunset Porsche in Oregon for $157.

 

Read back several pages I think this was hit on already. People preferred the std 997 shifter on the 996 as it provided a shorter and smoother shift. Not as short as the ssk but people were happier with it on the the 996 than the ssk.

 

Yes, I think everyone here is talking about the REGULAR 997 shifter. Most who do it, myself included, feel that it is so superior in feel and function, a short throw is unnecessary. I changed from a short throw B&M to this REGULAR 997 shifter. I bought mine in February from Sunset Porsche in Beaverton, Oregon.

PH# - (800)-346-3090

Part number : 997-424-010-00

$161.62 + $15.25 = $176.87 to my door. Have NO interste in a short throw shifter now.

Good Luck...
