I got my porsche OE short shifter in and I also got the painted center console and upper door trims painted and wnat to install them. Does anyone know if its easy enough to install the short shifter and rear center console myself???? and I heard the upper door trims where the door handles are, are difficult, can I install these myself also?????????

 

I installed the shifter myself . It took about 1 hour.
The hardest thing was getting the shift **** off .
Removing the door panels is also pretty straight forward.

 

HOW DO I GET THE SHIFT **** OFF!?!?! i cant figure this thing out, anybody please help

 

Did it come from us? We include installation instructions in the package if so.

Shift **** is a tough one, usually just friction and it takes a bit of effort. Don't give up.

Doors will require panel removal.

 

Turn the plastic collar below the shifter boot (997 models) CLOCKWISE ~ 1/4 turn ( 90 deg) then pull the **** off .

It's on VERY tight , so you probably need to create some sort of lever using a big screwriver or tap it from below with a heavy wrench .
Once you get it loose by ~ 1/4 inch, it pulls right up .

 

Yes its from you guys, but I got no instructions for the installation of the center console, only of the key ring area which was easy.


GUYS I got the shift **** off, now I need to know how am I supposed to seperate the locking compartment door on the old center console and put it on the new one????????

 

Damn! Eric,
You don't miss anything!

 

Ok guys, got it in and looks amazing, im in love. Now im gonna have to tackle the door panels, this should be interesting . Thanx guys for all your help, b/c of you I did not break anything

 

Email me on the doors if you want the documents. We must have missed this in packing....sorry about that.
