Was the aluminum center console included on the option list (option XCK) that comes on the pre-printed sticker?
then they got it done once it arrived!

Look at the sticker--but beyond that if you had a 996 with the regular 6 speed YOU should notice a big difference in your new 997. I had an 04 tt with reg 6 speed and got a 08 tt with factory short shifter. Night and day. I must not understand your question cause the answer is obvious IMHO
Yup. The 997 Turbo standard shifter throw was reduced (think 15%) vs the 996 turbo & the sport shifter is further reduced from there so there should be a big difference.

Is it worth getting the OEM Porsche short shifter?
I had one in my old M car and it was notchy and sometimes did not easily slide into gear which almost made me mishift sometimes.
Thanks for any feedback.

NIGHT AND DAY difference. You can get your porsche dealer to install the same short shifter as comes from the factory-- BUT I would bet it will cost you more. Frankly porsche as a car maker doesn't make the best short shifter--my brother has a 07 Z06 and, I hate to say this, but the box is short and smoother.(I hate GM)

Sounds like the trim guys at the factory were asleep. I'm sure there are many more examples of "missing" options. How does one authenticate a car if the option list is different than what is actually on the car?

don't mean to jack your thread, but...
anyone have any guesses on price of OEM Short Shifter? Or where to get on the cheap.
noah677: you say OEM SS isn't that good, got any recommendations?
TIA

Scroll down and you'll see the OEM part and the B&M part. Search is your friend if you want to read all the opinions on these two parts.

How hard is it to install, do I need to get underneath the car?
I had a B&M on my C5 Z06 before, I LOVE the short throws. But it was really notchy and required alot of effort to shift, also to move from side to side was really stiff as well making it hard to get into reverse. Is it different on the Porsche?
