Where can I found a short shift kit?

I have been reading all over the threads and I am thinking about going with the B&M ssk. Since it has had good reviews..now where can I purchase one at a good price? I don't mind getting a used one if anyone has one for sale.
Please let me know...thanks!!!

call up Jay at Brandywine porsche. i would recommend going with the OEM Short Shifter Kit for warranty issues.

I think it was like $190 shipped.

google brandywine porsche and get the number for the parts department, tell them you want the 6speedonline special, Jay will hook you up! tell him Jason sent you and tell him he's still waiting for his Tubis

I would be shocked if you can find the Porsche short shift for $190. Even Suncoast that usually has some of the best prices on OEM parts is selling for $438.

What is the difference in the kits? It looks like they have different contents.

$190 shipped for the factory kit? Are those stolen? We can't match that, take advantage of that price. There are two factory kits, the 996 version is very similar to the B&M version. They 997 version comes with the entire shift console, I've heard that this one is an easier install.

+1 B&M SSK. make sure you check shifter adjustment with the OEM before you start. No tool available to adjust shifter with the B&M.

I bought the B&M SSK From Bumperplugs for $199 about 2 weeks ago. Give Eric a call. Had it installed for $200. (I am not mechanically inclined)....

Great upgrade.

Is there a difference in shifters for the 98-01 and 02-up 996? The 98-01 shifters are $260????

what short shifter are you referring to? If its the OEM Porsche then thats a good deal, because I have seen them over $300 the majority of the time. if its a B&M, its not such a great deal. I got mine from Eurorev (site sponsor) for $200 from Roberto.
