Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

During install of the numeric, I also replaced a plastic cable end that attaches the fore-aft cable to the shift lever.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have the 997gt3 short shifter in my 996 but early this year I bought a 99 Boxster with a rifle action short shifter it�s a little chunky but I love it so I�m in the mood to upgrade my 996 again and I�m looking for your opinion on long term use

POST 2Original post

I've had my short shifter in for about 3 months. I was coming from the mushy stock 996 shifter. It has completely changed the car. Its crisp and feels solid. 10/10

POST 3Original post

I have a numeric short shifter, installed in the tallest position (longest throw) because I wanted precision shifts, not a short throw. I remembered upon installation that the shift effort felt a bit more difficult than I�d prefer. I was even partially regretting its purchase. But now the shift effort seems to have been lessened, either because it�s been broken in a little, or I�ve simply gotten used to it. While driving yesterday, I even remember explicitly thinking �this is a nice shifter�. I also previously had the Function First solid cable ends installed. That made a small, but noticeable difference with my OEM 996 shifter. During install of the numeric, I also replaced a plastic cable end that attaches the fore-aft cable to the shift lever. I figured the old one was probably beat-up and could do with replacement. The numeric shifter I received was a newer version, with a centering spring installed. I left it in place upon installation, and I can say I really like it. The centering action is strong enough to avoid mis-shifting, which makes shifting diagonally a pleasant experience. I have a short shifter in my Honda, and after all this - sorry to say - my shifting experience in the 996 still falls a bit short in comparison. I�m starting to think the difference lies with the dual mass flywheel of the 996�
