Just bought a 2002 C4S. Love the car so far. I was taking apart the shifter last night because there is a lot of play and noticed the lever has a bend towards the passenger side. When watching short shifter install videos online, I�ve seen what appears to be the racing dynamics kit where the lever is bent towards the drivers side. Some owners have swapped the lever around on the short shift kit but just checking to see if the orientation of the shifter should be the same as the stock shifter where the bend in the lever is towards the passenger side. (Question is for a LHD/US car)

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.

996 shifter bends to the passenger seat.
My car has the same shifter in it. It's basically a knock off from the B&M unit that is all over the internet and can be had from ~$40 to ~$200. Many of them are sold as RHD unit so you'll need to pull the bolt out and just flip it.
Thank you for confirming. I�ll just flip it around.
