Most people have been happier with the 997 shifter.

The B&M has a really short throw. To me it doesnt match well with the length of the clutch movement. +1 on the 997 shifter. Are you tracking the car? what are you trying to achieve by switching shifter?
POST 4Original post
I have it and really like it - but I bought it because my previous car was a S2000 which has a very short throw. I tried the 997 shifter and thought it was better but still a little loose. I'd try a b&m before you buy. It's the exact same as the Porsche OEM if that helps you find one to drive...

My C4S was sold to me as having a short shift, how can i tell if it has one fitted or not, do i need to strip it all down to look in and see?. If so what would i expect to see as oppose to a normal one?. My C4S is a RHD UK car. Thanks Carl

Pull up the shifter boot and take a peek - if the shifter mechanism is metal and blue (B&M) or purple (OEM) then it's one of those short shift kits
POST 7Original post
Sorry to ask this noobie question but how do i pull the shift boot up?

How does the boot unclip though?. I have read elsewhere that the clips can break if not done correctly. Does the 996 shift **** fit the 997 shift mechanism?. Is the 997 Turbo also compatible, that is a short shift in itself isnt it?.
POST 11Original post
I'm a big fan of the B&M. I did not like it at first and thought it was a little cumbersome but I adjusted the stops a little and I think it broke in a little bit as well and I couldn't be happier with it. It is very precise and short.
POST 12Original post
I love the B&M, it is very short throw, but after a few days anyways you won't even notice it. it will be just right. I would do it all over again and I can't think of getting anything with longer throw. Best mod for the bucks for sure. Second to that FisterD exhaust mod Third : suspension upgrade if you have some twisty roard to kill

Thanks for all the responses. I already have the B&M Short Shifter new in the box, and plan on installing it this weekend. However, I was talking with another 996 owner, and he suggested to me that the 997 shifter was better and I should check it out Based on what is said here and others that I've spoken with, I'm going to go ahead and install it and believe that it will be an improvement to the stock shifter. I'll share my impressions with the group after I've had an opportunity to use it for a while Next mods will be the X pipe, plenum and suspension
