OEM shifter is crap. If your aftermarket shifter has a notchy feel and you don't like it, the 997 stock shifter or 997 short shift are both precise, smooth options.

If you're having issues then either the shifter linkage is loose, something is wrong with your tranny, or some other part isn't working. Otherwise it should work fine. My factory short shifter on my Turbo works like butter. Never a problem.

I removed my short throw B&M and installed a factory 997 turbo shifter (not the short throw one) I like it.
