Will be hard to inspect bushings as they are obstructed.

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.

I think my 996 tt has a B&M short shifter in it which I don't like. There loads on various forums about the different shifter options I've found the thread below with advice from suncoast.
https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...t-linkage.html
Looks like the standard 997 shifter is the best option for me. The 997.2 gt3 looks to be the same but with one metal collar instead of the standard 997's nylon item. I'm not going to do loads of track days, so this should be fine.
Anyone know if my 996 shift **** will fit on the end of the 997 linkage? I have a OEM carbon shift **** that was a pricey option. I also think it's a little shorter than standard so should keep the overall throw length down.
Thanks!
The GT3 is a bit shorter than the normal i think, I would go for the 997 GT3.
Have that in my car, and just love the feeling!
And as an awnser to your question, yes it was no problem att all with the fitting
To put some finishing touches on this thread, there are few things that can make sounds describrd. Each has to be looked at, or uf u do full bore approach, do all at once to fix sounds issue.
1. Lower control arms - known culprit, squeak or thud when going over bumps. You can inspect and see bushings tears. Fix is to replace control arms.
2. Upper control arms - known culprit, squeaks over bumps. Will be hard to inspect bushings as they are obstructed. There is process to inspect on cayenne section. If you replaced lower control arms, and sounds still present, replace the upper control arms. Plus read next point.
3. Upper shock mount bushings - known culprit in air suspension, clunking sound over bumps, especially low speed. These are rubber stops inside each shock. They are supposed to keep internals aligned, but if they get worn, internals of shock stary flopping around, hence clunking sound. Remedy is to replace said bushings. I have a diy from cayenne section on how to do this. Not hard, and if youre doingupper control arms, you have to remove air shocks, giving you perfect opportunity to to replace.
4. Sway bar bushings - not as common for squeaks. Easy to replace, but i would do thease aftervabove 3 are addressed. I have diy on sway bar bushing repair on here in cayenne section, i think.
5. Sway bar links - not as common for squeaks, easy to replace. If i reolace sway bar bushings, might as well do th ese too, cheap and need removal to change sway bushings.
After fixing my cayenne which has similar noises, thst users ovserve and repair, i would tackle these noises in shown order. Very doable as diy.
