But the gear changes are as precise as you can get.

Suggestion
The numeric racing shifter on the 'shortest' setting physically lowers the leaver the shifter sits on down, might be worth looking into it.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

The 996 shift **** is too tall (I already have the 997 sport shift kit from suncoast), it feels like I'm shifting with a cane. What shorter gear shifter options do we have that will work on the oddly shaped shifter stalk (and would come with a boot that will snap into the stock location)?
I'm not sure but this may qualify as a "first world problem." I haven't seen any alternate shift ***** though other than the Rennline silver ball. It doesn't come with a boot though.
I have one of those and had the local upholstery shop make a very nice leather boot with the old recycled frame. The **** is adjustable to square it all up. Just don't mash yourself in the face pulling the old **** off, no joke.
I purchased a shift **** from Black Forest Industries and have been pleased with the quality, feel, and ease of installation.

The function first **** you linked earlier is height-adjustable, and can go shorter than stock. I'm using one in combination with a Redline shift boot and a Ben Nenert short shift kit (B&M clone refitted with full ball bearings). First-world-problem solved
+996 on the standard shifter being quite tall...
The numeric racing shifter on the 'shortest' setting physically lowers the leaver the shifter sits on down, might be worth looking into it.
Can't comment on the amount the height change as my Numeric is on the middle throw height.
I second the Black Forest ****. I too also have the 997 shifter on mine and it is designed to fit right over the factory piece. Feels awesome every shift.
ICT also make a gear **** to suit the 996:

As I don't have one of these, I can't tell you if they are any shorter than stock.
I have a Rennline milled aluminum shift **** that works well. I went with the black one, which in retrospect may not have been a great choice - it looks good, but it gets HOT in the sun.
The actual lenght change from pivot is 3/8"-1/2" going from shortest to middle.
I had mine on shortest for a week, I didn't care for it for DD street use. The amount of effort to move lever is substantially more in the lowest setting. But the gear changes are as precise as you can get.
The middle setting is still shorter than stock 996 or 997SSK, which I have had both in my car before the numeric .
I think the middle with the numeric is the way to go. Also I didn't want to cut the carpet.
It is slightly more effort than the stock 997 I used to have but oh so much more rewarding and enjoyable.
