If it fits the 996 GT2, can I assume the same fitment to 05 TT "S" or is there a difference in the drivetrain?
On a related note, my understanding is that the factory SS option was actually manufactured by B&M for Porsche. Is this correct?
I guess my bottom line question is that if the 997GT3 shifter is a direct bolt-on for 996TTS, and if it is "better", I agree it's a relatively inexpensive mod.

I'm waiting for the shifter to arrive via UPS around Wednesday. I've already spoken to several forum members over at RL who have done the switch without any problems. The moment it is in and I drive it (hopefully no later than Thursday) I'll post my results. I was also told that you should order the cup car shifter cables. They have the metal tips over the standard plastic. I was told that there is a lot less play when the shifter is in gear. Not sure if I want to go through any further B.S., but I'm going to look into that too.
BTW, I had to replace my glove box latch because a coupling on the spring snapped loose, what a pain in the butt that was. Porsche doesn't make any DYI easy. Does anyone know if the new latch leaves the slot open so you can replace your stock locking mechanism? That part is also supposed to arrive Wednesday or Thursday. Sheeesh!

I think they're around 200 dollars. I'll know for sure tomorrow.
