Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am fitting these to my shift mechanism, I need the cover piece, 996.424.901.90. This is no longer available from Porsche. It is a metal plate which stops the right hand side cable lifting out of the mechanism. Does anybody have one they could photograph and post a picture of to see what it should look like in detail? MC

POST 2Original post

Yeah I can get hold of them £13, they are just a little clip to hold the cable in. I dont have a pic

POST 3Original post

I'm pretty certain I have the actual part as i bought one from Porsche a few years back when I fitted a set of cup cables to my GT3. From memory you cannot fit the cover if you want to run the car with the centre console. I'll dig it out of my "stock" over the few days and post it to you if you like? I'm certain my solution to fixing the outer cable to the shifter was cable tie related.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

After RXBoxster said they were available I have contacted my OPC who have tried to order one for me. I buy tons of stuff from they so they do what they can. If that fails I would appreciate you posting it if you have it. I am aware of the clearance issue but have been advised on how to mod it to make it fit. Whether it ends up with a home made plate, plate from yourself, cable ties, or parts from OPC, I'll be sure to write it up as other have expressed an interest. MC
