Anyone know how to get into contact with Schnell? The lever that comes out the side (Drivers side) with a ball on the end has stripped in its socket. Looks like a manufacturing defect to me. Causes LOTS of side to side play. I can't seem to find them on the Web (other than resellers).

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.

Well heck.......Thanks!
Let me know how it turns out. Im interested in what their response is after everything on website says 100% satisfaction.
They were closed when I called. Will call again this AM
Well, apparently Schnell is "owned" by Vertex now? Only a 1 year warranty etc. etc. So even though you can see it is defective they won't do anything but offer 20% off full retail. I am just glad it is loose and that it did not fall out. I am going to see if I can retap the hole. Will go B&M or Porsche for the shifter. NOT Schnell, if I can't repair it.
guess i wont be buying a schnell/vertex short shifter. B&M here i come.
Agreed. I think they erred in not just doing a straight swap. Their response was to copy and past their warranty statement in an email to me. I could not find it on the Schnell site at all. So I guess as long as you can produce it via email you can say "Sorry Sucker".
You should get one of these from Numeric Racing
We do have those for the 996 - GREAT UNITS!
Little overkill for my daily driver

That has always been the case although I'm 99.9% certain that years ago the non-branded "Schnell" products were available on Alibaba...

Try one out, you will fall in love it with. You can still put your Center Console over it. But the Shifter Feel is amazing!
