I honestly don't remember, I *think* the majority of the screws are the same, It's been a while since I swapped my console for the painted one.

Then when I replaced the console, I started with the screw on the right and worked to the the left.

I once swapped a dash on a 944, not hard but what a pain in the ***!

Suggestion
How do you remove the shifter, as there are no set screws???

Note: the exclusive shift **** uses a Torx screw to maintain position on the shift lever; be careful not to round it out.
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 plan on installing my 997 shifter before Marc installs his short shifter! I looked at the instructions showing how to remove the center console. My question is, whoever did this already:
1) Are all the T-20 screws the same, ie., can they be stored together?
2) How did you keep all the screws seperate so they didn't get lost or confused?
I would hate to take off the center console, only to find I didn't sort the screws, making it a nightmare to put back on!
Any tips?
Thanks.
I honestly don't remember, I *think* the majority of the screws are the same, It's been a while since I swapped my console for the painted one.
..and will be even longer before I take it out again
Most, if not all, of the T-20 screws are the same. I just laid the screws out, left to right, in the order I removed them (per the B&M instructions). Then when I replaced the console, I started with the screw on the right and worked to the the left.
There are only like 8; don't sweat it, and yes, all of them are the same except for the one that holds the tray under the rear cubby IIRC.
I would however label the leads under the console. I think there's one for the ebrake and the ash tray light.
HTH
Just stick them in a piece or styrofoam or cardboard and write where it came from (or what step number)
Really the steps are way easier then they look when you read them. Once you get going its super easy and you will discover it took longer to read the instructions than to swap the shifter!
GL - many of us have done it.
Just did this....All the screws except one are the same....the one under the coin holder is the odd one out. I'm not counting the two fasteners under my ashtray delete cubby. Those are plastic expanding things.
I used one of those a magnetic screw trays to hold the fasteners *and* the torxtool.
Check out the recent thread on console delete. There's lot's a detail and a link to some good photos.
Marc, it gave me a few headaches, but it was actually a fun project.
Chris, here are a couple pictures of the Maserati. The engine is running and I am waiting for the shop to get the transmission pulled apart, so I can locate the part number off the gear that I need. I will be able to save about 85% of the original interior. I am going to have to send back my second bottle of dye, because the color still isn't perfect. The original color was Ivory (almost white) and the areas that I have treated are too cream or beige colored.
Assuming you mean the shift ****, you just pull up (really hard!) and it comes off. I did this swap a few mos ago, and as mentioned above, the whole exchange really does not take more than 2-3 hours, even working slowly as I did. Great mod.....
