Was at my dealer talking to my buddies in Parts and they were telling me how the 997 short shift (which they have 2 in stock) is over $600 if you buy it after!!!!!!! If you have any plans of putting one in, I would do it when you order the car as it is quite a bit less!!

I was looking at the order guide and it is $765 (option XCZ). I guess they would charge more to buy the part & install it.

 

Wow I take that back then... Don't order it, get it after the fact and have it installed!! Labor should be 1 hour which should be around $100!!

The new trans is so smooth and effortless even with the stock set up (15% shorter) than the stock 996.

 

how is the ssk compared to aftermarket ssk?
15% shorter is not all that much. but i am sure it's worth it.

If you order the car with the optional SS, it's 30% shorter than the stock 996. The stock shifter in the 997 is 15% shorter than the stock 996.

I made the 'mistake' of driving a 997 with the ssk. Just waiting for my ssk to arrive in the mail for my tt. What a slick shifter.
