My 996TT left me stranded a couple wks ago after the cheapy stock plastic lower shifter linkage busted with around 40K miles on her. I went with the Schnell upgraded linkage and short shifter. I'm really pleased! It feels exactly like I was wanting. The throw is short, precise and it has a nice "in gear" feedback. The new linkage looks strong. I did have to remove that green plastic piece of the lower factory housing for the thicker linkage assembly to move easily. What is that green piece for anyway? It is a quality product at a great price. I know they had issues in the past, but the new design is great. I would highly recommend it for someone looking for a short shifter and a linkage that will not leave them stranded, and at a very good price. There may be others that are more suited for other people, but my 996TT feels like a race car now. Very pleased! Here is the link. Got it in 4 days. Thanks VERTEX!

I have the schnell short shifter in my Turbo and in my Boxster got them from Eagle Day for 150 I absolutely love it very positive short throw and simple install.

 

sorry if this is irrelevant at all but did any of you have the 997 ssk in previously before? It's great and all but I get a few shifts once in a while where it feels pretty rough. Also, it clicks when I go into gear ALL THE TIME. any advice? If not, would this schnell set up be a good alternative?

 

I think most people prefer the 997 ssk, from what I've read on the forums, but I couldn't be more happy with the Schnell shifter. I have read post about that clicking, and have no experience with that. Someone posted a mod to the housing with a flat, thin piece of sheet metal that supposedly helped????
