So much gets said that some times these stories can be such wives tales.

Due to the cost of a tranny fix alone if that is the case I could see the 997 unit being worth the extra cost.
Data Point: I've had the B&M shifter in my Turbo for over eight years; not a single problem with the transmission or the shifter.

Here is a stop-action video I made showing the gear throws of my B&M shifter.

I tried both of them on the same day. Leaving the console out I can change the shifter in 10 min or less. I kept going back to the B&M. Finally I reinstalled the console and put everything back together with the B&M.

I also installed the EVOMS billet shift linkage. That made fine tuning the shifter a snap. I guess what some call notchy I call precision. The B&M is very precise and has positive gate engagement. I just like it better.

The basically new 997 SSK will be in the for sale section soon.
