San Diego: anyone with a 996 that has a short shifter?

I'm looking into a short shifter for my 2004 C2 and I'd like to see if there's anyone who'd be willing to let me "feel" theirs out? When I did my old BMW it came out really notchy and was often hard to engage first. BUT, the 996 feels like I'm rowing a boat when I shift so I'm anxious to change that.

Anyone willing to give a new owner a hand?

I do have the 997 SSK in my 996 turbo-S. And before that I had the EVOMS short-shifter (similar to B&M). I much prefer the 997 SSK, although somewhat pricey.

We live in north county/15. Let me know if interested.

Hey Arman!

I'd actually like to try this shifter myself. I'm thinking about getting one.

Maybe we could meet up thursday at the meet?

Hi David,
Long time man, I am sorry but I won't be here this Thursday thru next Monday. We are planning to go to HRE open house in Vista on Saturday 31st (I think), I be happy to let you try her.

Well I'm in whenever it's convenient, maybe we can all meet together and have a shifter party.

Definitely in need of one. Stock is the longest throw of anything I've driven.

I've driven a Boxster with a B&M and it was super short. And my C4S had a factory short shifter which was perfect.
