Porsche or B&M short shifter ?
Hello guys, ive gotten a few good opinions on which short shifter is the best but i wanted to check with all my fellow 6speeders who might have one of these mods or experience with one on your own car. What do you guys think is the right road to go down ? Im trying to make a decision pretty much today or tomorrow as the car is at the dealer now and i can have them just install it while its there. Thanks for the help :cool:

why red text?
as it was discussed before - OEM it is overall better. suncoast has `em. to me it is not really essential - I can see why 996 people had to have it, on 997 IMHO stock one is pretty much OK. shorter one may feel nicer but IMHO it is not very essential. |
:) lots of post regarding the SSK lately..
its a great must-mod for manual trans. get the OEM. it has the original feel but with shorter throw.. no prob with warranty.. and cheaper and easier to install (although the selling price is higher). |
Stay away from B&M. Myself and friends have had horrible experience with them and product.

You already know where I stand on this one, OEM all the way :)
|
Oem...
|
i had a b+m in my 986 and couldn't be more pleased. i originally had the evo shift link then ditched that for the b+m. it was tight, throws were noticable shorter. then i bought a used 997 and felt the shifting needed a ssk. i thought my 997 was just a stock shifter until i had the vin decoded and realized mine was the factory shift kit. although i cannot directly compare the b+m to the porsche ssk in a 997, if the b+m kit is anything like my old 986 i would definitely prefer that route.

vote for OEM
|
I'm pulling out my B&M for a 997 OEM SSK.
That should tell you where I stand. |
Ok so OEM is definitely the way to go. =D just curious any major turn-offs with the b&m ?
|
Heard that on the track, the SSK is not the way to go...shifts are easier to miss. Any track warriors out there with the SSK?

For those who have both driven the 997 with B&M and OEM SSK, please provide inputs!

Can someone plz provide info on doing this install yourself? I am going to go with the Porsche SSK but the dealer wants $300 to do it. I have installed a B&M on my brothers cayman S and it was kind of a pain in the ass but not too bad. I hear this is much easier so i figured i can just put it in myself. Does anyone know where i could find a good step by step diagram for this install?
