Does the porsche OEM short shifter come in it's own cradle

and do you have to cut the nylon bushings or can you easily switch back to the stock shifter?

install. Lucent did the install. 01 C4

The oem ssk comes two ways, the original retrofit kit is just like the BM, only painted black, yes you need to remove the teflon bushings with a chisel. The second 'release' were actually units destined for assembly line installs, hence the shifter is mounted in a plastic cradle with teflon bushings, no adjusting needed. Porsche way over anticipated the demand/ supply, hence they had a 's' load 996 ssk shifters for the line, but no orders to fill. These were dispersed to whatever dealer wanted them, they are sold mounted in a plasitic frame, usually in a plastic bag. They don't plan to make anymore, when the supply is gone, they're gone. I got a nice deal from Braman Porsche in Fl, 300$, ask for Javier. It's a 1hr install max, simple hand tools, you don't have to pay for everything. You will get a sense of accomplishment by diy, hard to f it up too.

It's my understanding that you still need to break out the bushing, courtesy of Scott Slauson via PCA: "The short shift kits do require the old bushings to be broken out. The new units utilize metal bushings and shift rod. You can't reinstall the old unit after the short shifter has been installed. Should you want to reinstall a standard shift assembly you would have to buy the complete assembly."

That refers to the original retrofit unit, the version Corey is refering to is already mounted in a housing, just swap yours, I know, I did just that.
