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.

Fitted the Function First shifter to mine pretty much as soon as I brought it home - sloppy shifter was the one thing I'd identified as needing fixed straight away.

I'd check eBay for a guy with a 997 that upgraded to a GT3 shifter or something similar.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just purchased a 2001 996 and the shifter is real sloppy side to side. After looking at it, it's obvious the plastic bushings are worn out. I have looked online but have been unable to find replacement bushings. Does anyone know where I can get new ones? Picture attached

POST 2Original post

Function First bearing replacement kit won't help?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

http://www.function-first.com/produc...right-solution This one? I had to look it up as I hadn't heard of it until now. Thanks! That does look really nice, but it is quite pricey. Really all I need are the plastic bushings, they are worn out

POST 4Original post

Maybe you should look at this. http://986forum.com/forums/diy-proje...t-shifter.html

POST 5Original post

Fitted the Function First shifter to mine pretty much as soon as I brought it home - sloppy shifter was the one thing I'd identified as needing fixed straight away. Very pleased with the results. Easy install too - given the amount of my time it didn't take, I think the price is pretty reasonable.

I agree they are pricey. Don't know of any stock bearings. But you could always try one of the Chinese short shift kits on eBay. Or even a Schnell kit from Pelican. Ideally, you would find a 997 shifter pretty cheap. They feel much better.

POST 7Original post

997 shifter is solid and improves feedback, reduces play substantially. I'd check eBay for a guy with a 997 that upgraded to a GT3 shifter or something similar. Or DIY if you are capable + inclined.

Google "Phenix Engineering" ... last I knew, they made billet bushings for 996/997 shifters.

POST 9Original post

FWIW, my new C2 has a B&M SSK in it and it feels really good. Definitely better than my Numeric for Daily Driving but not as good as it for the track. I like the concept of the FF bushings but have no idea why they cost so much.
