My 08 997 Turbo does not have the oe sport shifter that I came love in my 997 S. Any recommendations for any aftermarket kits? Thanks.

 

Porsche oem ssk from suncoast

Oem is nice although we've been doing the numeric (which is adjustable etc..):

I went the OEM SSK route. Very easy to drop in.

If I had to do it again I'd try the Numeric package. It was not around when I bought my OEM SSK a few years ago. Looks like it comes with the shifter and housing just like the oem ssk and pretty much drops right in.

I still might swap over to it, selling my old OEM shift setup and OEM SSK to make up some of the $$ investment.

 

How about the gt3 shifter?
Better than the ssk bc no plastic.

 

OEM is a fine product....we offer the B&M kit for a reason as well, and many tuners will chime on in this at some point - it's a bulletproof, machined-bushings (not plastic like OE), million-mile warranty product for a reason. Either is good and will significantly improve your driving enjoyment.

 

+1 agree

 

I've had the Oem one for several years. It's been great

 

Porsche OEM SSK is the way to go and you'll see a nice difference (about 30% shorter shifts).

 

Eric, I thought B&M kit fits 996, but does not fit in 997 well? I personally know of one 997 that has B&M kit and I vaguely recall some problem with one of the gear - can't remember what exactly though.

For OP, I use OEM SSK from Suncoast or Sunset Porsche. Works very well, fits perfectly, and makes a significant improvement (heavier but more precise and sporty). Highest recommendation.

 

Nope. B&M is perfectly fine for the 997 as well. No known issues.

 

oem on mine and it works great!
