Based on these part numbers the 997.2 GT3 uses the same SSK as all the others - 997 424 010 91??

 

Sorry - typo. IXCZ SSK for the 997s is 997 424 983 00.

I fixed my post

 

Will the 01 part work on a 997.1 TT?

This is the kit I used.

 

Thanks...so it looks like GT3 kit is the same for all.

 

Now you have me confused. I have a 997.1TT and put in a ssk. I don't know what the part number for the ssk was, but the regular shifter that came out had 997 424 010 on it?

 

I also have a 997.1TT and the OEM shifter was 997 424 010 00.

Porsche sells a short shifter kit for our car (don't know part # off hand) but it is not the GT3 short shifter kit(997 424 010 91).

The throw on the GT3 skit is of course shorter and smooth and I like it much better than the OEM shifter.

Some on this forum have stated the GT3 throw is shorter than the throw on the Porsche SSK. I don't know that for a fact as I have not driven a car with that kit.

I hope this helps.

 

Thanks Clay, I left off the "00" at the end on the one that came off. Don't know which Porsche ssk I put in (not going to take things apart to find out) but its probably the regular ssk (didn't know there was more than one when I bought it). Anyway, I am very happy with it.

 

Bob/Clay thanks for the clarification.

Wish I had known prior to getting my Turbo SSK. I would have gone for the GT3 shifter instead. Shorter is better here.

 

Can, have you seen the thread on Numberic Racing's shifter?

 

Guys I felt like I need to chime on the short shift kit vs GT3 shift console.

The GT3 shift console is not a true short throw shifter. It will be the same length in the throws as your current 997 Turbo stock setup, however it does have the billet aluminum bushings.

The short shift kit will indeed have a 20% shorter throw than the GT3 shift console, however it has plastic bushings. Having said that, there has been 0 cases of the plastic bushings going bad (that we are aware of).

Hope my reply helped clear up some confusion.

If you need any other info on the kits we have both parts listed on our website here:

Let me know if we can help anyone out!

 

Ryan, interesting! So I am better off with my Turbo SSK then, at least as far as the short throw is concerned.

The GT3 kit OTOH has the aluminum bushing - I wonder if this gives a more precise feel to the shift? Hmmm hmmm. Is there a way to switch just the bushing?

FWIW, I have sat in GT2 a few times to test out the shifter and did notice that at least stationary, it somehow feels different and "slicker" (click click vs. thump thump LOL) than my Turbo's SSK. I've thought it possibly is all in my head (GT2 stock shifter versus Turbo SSK) but now I believe you just gave the reason why. It's got to be the aluminum bushing.

 

Bob you know everything that's going on! Thanks and no I wasn't aware: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...er-review.html It's a thing of beauty and I would have no problem spending the $ if it has more users and more feedback. I now realize how important the feel of the shift is and what was described in that thread is very appealing.

I didn't know that my Turbo SSK still uses plastic bushing. This forum is amazing with the amount of info you learn - Thanks Ryan.

 

Question-I have heard that B&M supplied/supplies OEM SSK, and also manufactures their own version SSK, and theirs (B&M) is felt by more than a few to be superior to OEM.....also somewhat less expensive. Any real experience to relate ? TIA.

 

Search - comparisons have been discussed many times in the 4+ years I've been on this board - it's like choice of oil - lots of opinions.
