997 Gt3 Shifter
SubscribeI just read on another forum that the new 997 Gt3 shifter is butter smooth with the perfect length throws. I also read that it can be installed in a 996 Gt3. I would assume it would then fit in any 996 including a Gt2. The entire kit only goes for 183.00 Does anyone have any information on this? BTW, ViperBob was doing the first test.
the 997 gt3 shifter is more direct with a little bit of notchiness, it is smoother but also feels more mechanical, this is all compared to the 996 gt3 shifter. I also like the shape of the shift **** more.

I'm not talking about the ****. I was told that you can replace your entire unit and then use your stock shifter (Gt2). I had a 996 Gt3 and loved the shifter, if this one is better, I'm all in. Originally Posted by mixedmac

Here is a photo of the 997 Gt3 shifter.

Not 100 percent sure of the price. That is the price that I got from a thread on another forum. I am going to call my contact at Tischer Porsche and get a definitive answer on whether it will fit and how much it will cost. I would guess that it would run closer to 400.00, but you never know.Originally Posted by cohare
are you sure that whole unit is 189? Thats like the price of a rear floor mat for a porsche...
I called Tischer Porsche this morning. It costs 193.00 dollars. I ordered it and it should be at my residence in 3 to 4 business days. I'll keep you advised if anyone gives a damn.

Dude, I just wrote that the part is 193.00 total with tax and shipping it's 203.00 dollars. Sounds pretty cheap to me.Originally Posted by MrDumpling
but it shouldnt be cheap.
Mario,
Good luck, I hope it fits.
Comparing my 2 cars, the "factory" shifter in the GT3 is SOOOO much better than the B&M in my 996 TT (which is pretty good, BTW). Let me know how it turns out.

I am crossing my fingers that this works out. We could soon see a flood of used b&m's coming on the market..
On another note, this wouldnt be as noticable for warrranty co's to find either!

I'm interested and do give a damn. Please let us know since I want to feel it in person too. I hate my car's shifter. So, rubbery and yuck! Originally Posted by 9Eleven

I think my only concern is the fitment of the stock shifter and shift boot on the 997 shifter rod. I hope it works. I also ordered a 996 Gt3 shifter just in case. If the 997 fits, Tischer told me they will take the 996 shifter back and give me a full refund.
