I'm thinking about installing a short shift kit. Is it worth it and who makes the best model?

 

It is definitely worthwhile. B&M makes 2 different models. One resembles the factory short shift kit while the other resembles the ruf model..

Yes, its worth it. The OEM Porsche is the best, although the B&M is identicle and about 1/3 the price.

 

B&M here on the Turbo and had it on the C4 Cab and its night and day from stock, IMO the B&M is the best value and has a great feel.

 

What's the best reduction in shift range? 20%, 20% 40%? Is it really that easy to change out yourself? I sure wouldn't want to break anything.

 

B&M incar SS is 35%, Porsche SS 37%, Techart and Ruf undercar SS are adjustable.

 

What is a short shifter?

got the factory one installed on my TT last week by my dealer. feel a bit harsh in the begining. getting better now.

so far so good

 

I agree with everyone else. It is absolutely a must. I installed the B&M in car shifter - takes about 1.5 hours. Total night and day difference from stock. I think the car is more fun to drive and I've found that first to second shift is now smoother. It just amazes me that Porsche would not make this standard!

 

Eric - I thought you got the under car B&M ??
I am on the wall about ordering it as I wanted to know if anyone used both B&Ms in combo....

 

I thought that the Porsche is identicle to the B&M.

 

Where is the best place to get the B&M Shifter Kit?

Just ordered it from Forgein Affairs Motorsports for $214 plus shipping (and tax because of Florida residency).

Will be here in a few days and my mechanic will get it in. Thanks for all the input!

 

Go with the undercar adjustible techart...
