shifter 01 vs 97?

My best buddy, who lives about 500 miles away, and I were wondering this:

I just put a B&M shifter in my 2001 TT, and I like it. (I know there’s some controversy over this mod, but mine turned out quite well, shifts very well- although I have to say, getting the SOB shift knob off the original shifter was tough).

Anyway, he has a 97 TT, and he (we) were wondering if the trany and shift linkage are the same, considering the 4 years difference.

He also thinks the shifting throw on his TT is a little long and maybe would like to go to the B&M, but we are both wondering if the car’s trany and shifter stuff is the same or different.

Any info on this would be appreciated.

Tnx, Bill

Sorry, no a 996 shifter will not work.

The 993 uses a different transmission and shift linkage (rods vs. cables). I don't think B&M makes a shifter for the 993TT.
