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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I want to thank everyone on this website for their advice on the shifter. Had it installed today and I am extremely happy to report its the best mod for the money. Not only are shifts precise(no misssing on shifts) but less throw as well. Though I was happy with the oem shifter, b&m is many times better!!!! My porsche mechanic who mainly works on 993 or older models was surprized how well the b&m worked since the only one he installed was on a boxster which says didnt work well at all. Thanks everyone!! Next step still waiting for my Fabspeed cold air flow unit-I'm stoked!!! Mike '99 996 coupe red/black

POST 2Original post

Keep us posted on the Fabspeed install and the performance gains if any!!!!!

POST 3Original post

Hey Mike, I was also thinking of getting a B&M short shift. Is it something you can install on your own or is it complicated to the point where professional service is needed? Thanks

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

After readeing the insructions I ended up having it professsionally installed. I ordered thru Performance products and though the B&M shifter came with very detailed step by step with pictures after reading the part about adjusting cable linkages I said no way. Unless u are very mechanically oriented which i am not. I can tell u a story about one guy who tried to install the shifter in his boxster and it ended up being towed to the porsche mechanic whom i used. Only way to judge is read the manual and see if u can deal with it. I was visualizing myself trying to install it myself and i saw myself getting it installed but still left with 5-8 parts sitting outside after completion : (. I can at least tell u that once u get it installed u be amazed how well it shifts. Use to have problem with misshifts but not nemore. U see at least a reduction of 25-30% on your throws. My mechanic says nething more like 40-50% reduction u will have trouble knowing where it shifts into. Hope u like it if u decide to get it. take care. mike
