Short Shifter?

[996TRUNDLE]

Will the new Short Shifter (pn: 997 424 983 00) available thru Tequipment be similar to the 996 (ie: lever change), or a different cam at the transmission

Is that a good number. I do not see it on the parts list.

P/N comes from the 997 Tequipment Catalog

I still do not see it on the current parts list, or under tequipment. But Porsche updates the the parts computer every month. I'll take a look at it when it shows up and see if it is the same design like used on a 996.

I can see what they did on that 997 factory short shift. The pivot point of the lever was raised, just like the B&M/Porsche short shift used on the 996/986. So watch for B&M to come out with a metal version for the 997.

What is the claimed shift throw reduction in the 997 tequipment booklet?

The problem with the B&M/Porsche 996/986 unit is that the factory cable adjustment tool would not fit on the shift lever because the legs on the tool were too short to snap into the shift tower. That blue tool in the picture has longer legs so it will fit on the 997 factory short shift.

Here is a 996/986 oem shift tower with the orange factory tool.

Claimed reduction in lever travel is 20% from stock

I have a B&M unit on my 996 & like it a lot so as wanting to get one for my 997, on order. Is the not being able to use the Porsche factory cable adjustment tool a problem for me to consider before getting the B&M shifter? I'm not sure that I understand the significance of this.

Richard,

Not to hijack, but we are twins birthed in this site 12 hrs apart today. Did you see Skip's posts regarding his 997s woes on RL?

After driving his 997s, I thought the shift throw was pretty sweet stock.

The stock 997 shifter throw is 15% shorter than the stock 996, if you order the short shifter on a 997 (20% shorter) it would be 35% shorter than a stock 996. The new trans and shifter in the 997 is so smooth and effortless, i deceided not to install the optional short shifter.

Someone on flat-6 has put in a B&M short shifter in a 997.
