My local dealer says they have installed many of these...
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.

Hi all:
OK. So it looks like a B&M short throw shifter is a must according to just about anyone I speak to or any post on on the forum. Want to put one into my '01 C2 Cab. The question:
If I install this myself (cost estimate about $300), am I voiding the factory warranty?..or do I have to go with my dealer for $700+ ?
Words of wisdom appreciated.
Thanks.
PA.
My local dealer says they have installed many of these... so, as long as you don't break something (installing it) and expect them to fix it I don't think it will void any warranties.
My understanding from talking to my service dept 4 years ago is if you modify anything that is not officially Porsche made, in this case, SS from B&M, and something happens to your transmission/driveshaft/etc., you're dead in the water. Having said that, my dear friend bought his 3rd Porsche from this same dealer, and the last one was a 996 TT. The dealer installed a B&M SS with NO QUESTIONS ASKED. What does that mean? You tell me.
don't know about the warranty, but i've heard that it shouldn't affect it. with regard to cost, i installed the b&m on friday. it cost me $225 from brandywine, and a couple hours of my time to put it in
Do you guys know anything about the new B&M that replicates the Ruf or Techart unit that actually works on the cable and doesn't require any change at the shifter level? Any experience?
TIA

brandywine porsche in PA. the number is [phone removed] and i spoke to jay. one thing, make sure they don't cheap out on shipping, insist on 2nd day fedex ($15-20), as i waited almost two weeks for mine to come by ground as they "threw in" the shipping...
had mine installed last year . it is great. it doesn't matter who installed it even though if a dealer installs he should guarantee the work. the dealer stated that the only warranty issue is on the shift mechanism itself not the trans. my experience only.
I'm installing mine tomorrow night. I'll be doing a write-up diy how-to, whatever you wanna call it with some pictures. my friend who has already done two on his car and another friend's car will be helping me so hopefully there wont' be any problems. i'll post it here on rennlist.
